It’s Nothing (movie ver.)RADWIMPS
The ending theme song of the film “Your Name.” is a challenging piece with a very wide vocal range from low to high.
When singing, the biggest key is breath and voice control to switch between delicate lows and powerful highs.
It starts quietly and gradually builds, so the chorus’s sense of intensity and contrast is very important.
The tempo is relaxed, so you should have plenty of time to breathe.
Take a deep breath with diaphragmatic breathing and let it all out in the chorus.
For the talk-like delivery in the A section, singing as if you’re telling it to yourself will help create the right mood.
