Lineup + delivery + harmony

Three levers you can combine

Combine when useful:

  • Lineup: solo, male-female duet, group unison
  • Delivery: breathy falsetto, belted chorus, close-mic whisper, spoken-word verses
  • Harmony: intertwining harmonies, call-and-response, octave doubles

Vague vs specific

Praise vs performance recipe

Weak “good singer”, “amazing vocals”
Strong “male-female duet, conversational verses, belted chorus, tight harmonies”
