    100% way to get this.

    Prayer - Disturbed.

    Every single phrase especially the ones with the long holds of a note, hum into the mic with your deepest baritone hum and it will make the entire pie orange every time.

    Some phrases it's harder to do it on but it definitely works on the ones where he holds the notes long just got it first try.

    MiZ Dove OGThis worked for me first try. I'm female and my voice is not very high, but it was still a little difficult for me to hum low enough... But I managed. Popped when song was over.

    This wont be a 100% solution on how to get this but just some tips from a mediocre singer

    Now, what are 'Freestyle' vocal ratings you ask, well Freestyle is supposedly when you sing a different word that fits the song/rhythm since you might not know all the lyrics but it also helps for humming. You can tell when part of a phrase has registered as a freestyle since instead of the pie chart for the phrase filling up all blue you will see an orange section.
    A little bit of orange isn't enough you need to have freestyled at least 30% of the phrase whilst also getting enough blue to fill the pie chart also so it would have been an 'Awesome' only since you have some freestyle it becomes 'Freestyle' rated. Do this at least 3 times and the achievement will pop mid song

    So the song I used for this achievement was Prayer by Disturbed and I played on Expert though freestyle is also available on Hard.

    I used a headset for my controller instead of a mic so a mic will be easier and I hummed with the tune of the song trying my best to match the pitches on the screen and sometimes the game registered it being freestyle, now I don't think this will work for everyone but hopefully for some.

    DrMmmPie Also suggests using Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars and that you can use the No-Fail cheat from the options menu by pressing cn_start
    Pedle Zelnip suggests using Panama by Van Halen on Hard, they scored 95% overall and claim to 'I can't sing worth a damn (normally I can't even beat a song on hard)'

    Pedle ZelnipI did it on Panama on hard on my first try scoring 95% overall, and I can't sing worth a damn (normally I can't even beat a song on hard).

    Calex dEUSUptown funk did the job for me after trying the other suggestions and failing, the secret was to wait until my house was empty and make a rather painful sounding high pitched whining noise into the mic for the whole song , ended up getting like 10 of them in that one run clap

    Freestyle vocals involve singing at a different pitch than the blue bars while also staying in key. You see all the extra little lines along the vocal track when you're playing a song with freestyle vocals? Match your pitch to one of those lines to get freestyle. If you get freestyle credit, the pie will fill up with orange instead of blue. The whole phrase does not have to be orange, but you need to get a sizable amount and get an Awesome rating on the phrase by filling up the whole pie. If you get enough of the phrase freestyle, somewhere around the 25-30% mark, it will say Vocal Freestyle instead of Awesome. Do this three times in a song and the achievement is yours. It may take some time to get used to, but if you find a song that works with your range and try humming, you should get it eventually.

    It should also be noted that freestyle is only available on solo vocals on Hard or Expert difficulty, and only certain songs have it available. It will show on the song selection screen if it does.
