How to Sing Gospel?

Question

I think Gospel is such a powerful way of singing and I really want to learn how. I sing in the church choir already. I've been doing some breathing exercises lately. I've sung opera before, but gospel is in my soul. I've conditioned my breathing from the diaphragm. My choir group is gospel. I want to join a larger church choir though, and that church requires auditions. How do I go about getting ready for the audition? How can I sing gospel really well? I'd aprpeciate any tips.

Answer 1

Do exercises to improve your breath control. Find a gospel choir or group. Listen to and learn classic and contemporary gospel songs. Warm up properly before practice with the choir and do warm up exercises again with the choir. Imbue your singing with joy.
