Singing is the act of producing musical sounds with the voice, which is often contrasted with regular speech. A person who sings is called a singer or vocalist. Singers perform music known as songs that can either be sung a cappella (without accompaniment) or accompanied by musicians and instruments ranging from a single instrumentalist (a duet with a piano) to a full symphony orchestra or big band. 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. Nearly anyone who can speak can sing, since in many respects singing is a form of sustained speech.

Singing can be informal and done for pleasure; for example, singing in the shower or karaoke; or it can be very formal, as in the case of singing during a religious ritual such as a Mass or professional singing performances done on stage or in a recording studio. Singing at a high amateur or professional level usually requires innate talent, instruction, and regular practice. Professional singers usually build their careers around one specific musical genre, such as Classical or rock, they typically take voice training provided by a voice teacher or vocal coach throughout their career.

What part of the brain controls singing and how good you are at it?
Q. I know some people are born talented singers, and some have to practice. I also know that there are some people who just can't sing. Which part of the brain controls this? Could singing talent be inherited?
Asked by Elvoalven - Mon Nov 10 16:04:12 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I think it would be controlled by the same area that dictates artistic abilities. Many singers are just born with "well tune ears" the same way some people are natural drawers. Yes I think singing can be inherited or natural. Similar to Elvis Presley and His daughter or Inrique Inglesias and his father. All are singers and could have inherited the ability. Or it can also be natural as in Christna Aguilera. No one in her family that I am aware of has the same singing ability. Hope That Answers Your Question:)

Is it too late for me to start singing lessons?
Q. I am 16 going on 17 in later in 2009, do you think it is too late for me to start singing lessons? I play the piano for about a year, I am not very good but I can see how I am improving and can play anything if I really practice, I wanted to learn how to sing better so that I could make my own songs someday, do you guys think it is too late for me? I appreciate honest answers and mention of personal experience if any! Xxx.

A. Some people are born with awesome voices but the rest of us have to learn how to sing. You don't have to be born with talent to be talented. It all depends on how inspired and motivated you are to learn. Don't be stubborn and wish you had talent, get up and work your way to the great hobby of singing. You are never too young or too old to learn how to sing. Don't be intimidated by all the young talented singers or the ones who started learning since they were five years old. If you put your mind to it, you can sing but it does take a lot of time and dedication. Just be careful when choosing your teacher. Be sure to interview them so you know what a typical lesson would be like and so you know what you're paying for.

A. Thousands of people can sing like J-Hud. Not everyone will be noticed. Stop thinking that the world owes you anything more than you have. If you want to be a singer.. sing! Why do you need notoriety?
