P!nk – Raise Your Glass (Official Video)

A powerful anthem cheering on those outside the mainstream.

Released by Pink in October 2010, this anthem brims with deep affection and understanding for people labeled as “losers” or “misfits.” It’s a sincere message that resonates precisely because it was crafted by an artist who has walked that very path.

The song reached No.

1 on the U.S.

Billboard charts as the lead single from the album Greatest Hits… So Far!!! It was also featured in trailers for the films Bridesmaids and New Year’s Eve, capturing the hearts of many.

It’s a track to play when you want to reaffirm the value of living authentically, or when you’re hesitant to take a step forward because of others’ eyes.

Adele – Hello (Official Music Video)

This song was covered by Taka from ONE OK ROCK, and one of my male students practiced it a lot in our lessons! It was the Taka version, but as he kept practicing, he was able to hit the high notes in the chorus cleanly and comfortably.

So it might be a good practice piece, and it’s also a song that feels amazing to sing once you can do it, so I recommend it! The A and B sections are basically low and gentle, but the chorus jumps into high notes, so the trick is to sing without tensing up.

You might feel like belting, but imagine sending the sound far out.

There are also falsetto ad-libs, so if you keep resonating in the space between your eyebrows and the top of your head, switching between chest voice and falsetto will become smoother.

Try to stay mindful of lifting your facial muscles as you sing!
