Singing

Singing is the act of producing musical sounds with the voice, and augments
regular speech by the use of both tonality and rhythm. One who sings is called a
singer or vocalist. Singers perform music (arias, recitatives, songs, etc.) that
can be sung either with or without accompaniment by musical instruments. Singing
is often done in a group of other musicians, such as in a choir of singers with
different voice ranges, or in an ensemble with instrumentalists, such as a rock
group or baroque ensemble.


In many respects human song is a form of sustained speech, nearly anyone able
to speak can also sing. Singing can be formal or informal, arranged or
improvised. It may be done for pleasure, comfort, ritual, education, or profit.
Excellence in singing may require time, dedication, instruction, and regular
practice. If practice is done on a regular basis then the sounds are said to be
more clear and strong.[1] Professional singers usually build their careers
around one specific musical genre, such as classical or rock. They typically
take voice training provided by voice teachers or vocal coaches throughout their
careers.
