WOODZ Shares Vocal Secrets on 1theK's 'Music Recipe,' Fans Crave More Lessons

Singer WOODZ has captivated global fans with his insightful vocal coaching on 1theK's original content series, 'Music Recipe.' The episode, released on Wednesday, saw the artist break down how to best perform his latest digital single, 'I'll Never Love Again.'

'Music Recipe' features artists as temporary vocal instructors, sharing their unique tips for mastering their own songs. Previous guests include Lee Chang-sub, Jung Yong-hwa, Lee Seok-hoon, and Doyoung, all of whom received significant praise for their expert advice.

WOODZ, who recently released his first post-military service album, guided viewers through expressing the emotional nuances of 'I'll Never Love Again.' He humorously noted that the new track is higher than his previous hit 'Drowning,' despite not intending it to be. To tackle challenging high notes, he advised, "Instead of pushing from your throat, try to feel the sound reaching from the back of your neck." This technique, he explained with illustrations, makes hitting high notes more manageable.

He also recommended practicing with a Bluetooth microphone, explaining that the vibrations help singers internalize the sensation of producing good sound without vocal strain. This physical memory, he believes, is crucial for effective practice.

Detailing the song's structure, WOODZ described wanting a "lifeless monologue" feel for the first verse, achieved through breath control to convey emotional weight. The latter half requires a powerful rock vocal delivery, emphasizing the importance of dynamic control. Ultimately, he stressed that singers should feel free to interpret the lyrics' meaning through their own vocal style.

Fans flooded the comments with requests for more, calling him a "sweet vocal master" and asking, "Where can I sign up for a repeat lesson?"

Park Ji-hye, the producer of 'Music Recipe,' stated, "Our goal with 'Music Recipe' is to make music more accessible to global fans by sharing practical tips from top vocalists." She added that WOODZ's transformation into a gentle 'Teacher WOODZ,' a contrast to his charismatic stage presence, offers fans a fresh appeal.

WOODZ, originally a member of the boy group UP10TION, re-debuted as a solo artist in 2019, establishing his unique musical identity. His music spans various genres like hip-hop, R&B, and pop, earning acclaim for its deep emotional resonance and original performances. Recognized as a multi-talented artist, he excels in songwriting, composing, and producing, solidifying his irreplaceable position in the K-pop scene.
