    Will smoking affect my voice?

    Yes, very much so. Smoking will damage your throat and cause your voice to be raspier.
  • Question
    Why do people try to do this?
    Community Answer
    People are doing this because Michael Jackson was a very talented person. He even earned the title King of Pop.
  • Question
    How long would it take a person to actually impersonate Michael Jackson himself?
    Community Answer
    If you mean perfectly like MJ, that will never happen. There's no way any impersonator will ever reach his height of talent in dance and singing. Even the best impersonators out there can't impersonate MJ 100%.
  • Question
    How would I talk like Michael Jackson?
    Community Answer
    You can find and study interviews with him and practice his tone and inflections.
  • Question
    What style of singing did Michael Jackson use in "Billie Jean"?
    Community Answer
    Mostly tenor. Notice there are a lot of "Uh!"s in between sentences. He did this so he could prepare for sudden changes in pitch. Try using your hand. Say "Uh!" really high, and in the middle, poke the bottom of your neck with two fingers. Practice a lot, and then try it without using your hands.
  • Question
    Should I practice with the song on, like karaoke, or without any music?
    Community Answer
    If you're just starting out, I'd suggest you start with karaoke, then work your way up to singing without any accompaniment.
  • Question
    What if I've tried to sing like MJ, recorded myself doing it, but it didn't sound as good as it did in my head?
    Community Answer
    Keep practicing your range, it probably differs from MJ's. Also, sometimes what your voice was recorded on can affect the sound.
