Gaye Adegbalola - Learn to Sing the Blues (DVD)
80-minute DVD, Includes song lyrics

In an engaging and forceful way, Gaye shares the elements of singing that she has gleaned from years of performing experience. 
She discusses her ideas on communicating to an audience - personalizing a song, choosing a repertoire, picking the right tempo and key, phrasing, etc. - and provides technical instruction in breathing, vibrato, the "growl", the octave slur and other elements of singing.
In addition, her tips on dialoguing, imaging, shading, squeezing notes and other "tricks of the trade" will add color and flavor to your blues renditions.

To illustrate these tips, Gaye performs all or part of more than a dozen traditional and original songs.
