Voice

Singing is the act of producing musical Sounds with the Human voice, which is often contrasted with Speech. Air is expelled with the Diaphragm as with ordinary Breathing, and the Pitch is altered with the Vocal cords. A piece of Music with a singing part, either A cappella or accompanied, is called a Song someone who sings is called a Singer.

Nearly anyone who can speak can sing, since in many respects singing is merely sustained speech. Singing at a high amateur or professional level usually requires a great deal of regular practice, and/or instruction. Top-quality singers will have instruction and training from coaches throughout their career.

Opera is a form of Theatre in which the drama is conveyed wholly or predominantly through music and singing. Opera emerged in Italy around the year 1600 and is generally associated with the Western Classical music tradition. Opera uses many of the elements of spoken Theatre such as Scenery, Costumes, and Acting. Generally, however, opera is distinguished from other dramatic forms by the importance of song. The Singers are accompanied by a Musical ensemble ranging from a small instrumental ensemble to a full symphonic Orchestra. Opera may also incorporate Dance this was especially true of French Opera for much of its history.

Show choir is a combination of singing and dancing. In North America, many schools and colleges offer show choir groups for students to participate in. Not only must participants be able to sing well and blend in with a group, but they must be able to dance at the same time. This requires endurance, flexibility, and strong vocals, which can all be acquired through practice.
