VOCALSPERFORMANCE

How do you practise singing harmonies if you usually sing lead?

Singing lead and singing harmony feel like different skills. When I try harmonies, I sometimes get pulled back to the main melody, especially if the lead vocal is loud in the room.

What helps you practise holding a harmony part confidently? Piano reference notes, recording the lead, isolating intervals, singing with one ear covered, or learning the harmony as its own melody?

Learn the harmony as a melody in its own right. If it only exists as 'not the lead', it is easy to lose.
