Riffs, runs, melismas - whatever you call them - can feel like the ultimate vocal flex… until they completely fall apart.

Here’s the truth: most singers don’t struggle with the notes themselves. They struggle with the timing, shape, and delivery of riffs. And the good news? That’s fixable.

This breakdown shows you how to slow down and smooth out your riffs, why fewer notes often work better, and how to practice riffs in a way that makes your muscle memory actually stick. You’ll also hear us break down a riff to show you an example.
