HOW TO SING WITH SOUL! Paul McKay’s Vocal Masterclass | Riffs, Runs, Tone & Range

🎤 Can you actually LEARN to sing with soul? Paul McKay says YES. In this full vocal masterclass, I sit down with renowned vocal coach Paul McKay to break down what separates simply singing from SANGING. We cover pitch, tone, breath, resonance, vocal range, riffs & runs, note separation, improvisation, confidence, stamina and finding your natural voice. Paul also demonstrates his approach LIVE—including an incredible soul/gospel treatment of Amazing Grace. Then we get dangerous: Paul’s Vocal Mount Rushmore. Aretha, Daryl Coley, Stevie Wonder, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Karen Clark Sheard, Fantasia, Tori Kelly, Jazmine Sullivan, Mariah and more enter the conversation. Whether you think you “can’t sing” or you’re already advanced, there is something here for you. 🔥 SING WITH SOUL. #Singing #VocalCoach #RiffsAndRuns #SoulSinging #GospelSinging #PaulMcKay #VocalTraining #singingtips CHAPTERS 0:00 Welcome — Let’s Sing With Soul 0:20 How Paul McKay Became a Vocal Coach 5:41 Developing the One Voice Method 7:12 What Does “Singing With Soul” Actually Mean? 8:46 Can Soulful Singing Be Learned? 12:21 Beginners: Start With Pitch & Tone 14:28 Great Tone = Breath + Resonance 18:09 The BIG Mistake Beginner Singers Make 19:02 The Power & Beauty of Whitney Houston 21:47 How to Find Your Natural Voice 23:00 Should You Copy Great Singers? 24:37 Overcoming Fear & Singing in Public 28:28 🔥 Paul Demonstrates Soul Singing LIVE 29:41 “Amazing Grace” — Gospel Style 31:00 How Paul Chooses His Notes 32:07 The Secret: Improvising Between Melody Notes 34:04 Mariah Carey & Expanding Vocal Range 34:43 Theoretical Range vs Practical Range 37:45 How Singers Separate Notes 40:17 Exercise for Cleaner Riffs & Runs 41:36 Daryl Coley & Stevie Wonder’s Fast Runs 48:03 Paul Performs Again 53:00 Coaching ADVANCED Singers 54:29 Vocal Stamina, Longevity & Technique 56:35 🔥 Paul’s Vocal Mount Rushmore 59:08 Paul’s Greatest Male Vocalists 1:00:32 Male Secular Greats 1:02:28 Female Gospel Greats 1:03:29 Why Fantasia Hits DIFFERENT 1:04:29 Female Secular Greats 1:09:17 Mariah Carey Enters the Debate 😂 1:13:19 Why Paul’s Singing Community Works 1:16:12 Beginners Are Welcome 1:17:45 Stop Being Afraid — START SINGING 1:19:09 Paul’s Final Words
