What Is Singing And Performing In Vocal Competitions

By Walter Brooks


The activity of singing has always been loved by man since the before. Before they came out of caves and lived in forest, the early neanderthals had learned how to sing from the sound of nature around them. Specifically how birds sound and sing along with each other while they are in mid air or when perched upon a branch of a tree. These sounds had stirred the imagination and wonder of man since long ago.

Singing itself is the act of making music through the use of ones voice by the use of several different vocal techniques. A person who is called a singer is also called a vocalist and often times participate in vocal competitions to show off the talent and training that has had by this person. Often times in competitions, it is only done a solo act without any accompaniments.

In singing though, there are different ways to perform and enjoy it. Two examples of this is doing an formal and informal kinds of singing. The more formal way would be when a person is performing in front of a crowed and is expected to entertain them and make them feel the power of the song. The other one is called informal, and as its name implies, these are done in private and when with family and friends were there is no one to judge if its bad or not.

Another place were one can start to sing is within the confines of a church. The songs that are done in here are usually devotion and worship songs that is meant to appease the god above. Most singers do it solo but in church, a choir is what usually sings for everybody present. Many songs in the middle ages where made and song to worship the lord.

Perhaps the best reason for a person to sing is the simple joy it provides. It could a hobby or just singing with a bunch of friends in order to hang out and bond, this is the best one because of how nice it is to enjoy these things with family and friends. To further enhance the experience, karaoke and singing machines are provided to have some lighthearted entertainment.

But to be good in this particular activity or even gain a profession from it, dedication and time are the things required at minimum. The practice for voice lessons is done on a regular basis to make the singers voice much clearer and stronger than before. Without any sort of lessons, the voice could easily be strained and damaged.

The Europeans that enjoy classical music and the opera itself have considered that voices should be classified as a musical instrument. An instrument that many performers must hone and practice over and over in order to master it and become a very good opera singer. This also extends to composers as they have to take into notice what quality of voice should the character or singer have for the composition.

The Europeans eventually came up with a system to classify the different properties that make up a vocal sound. This had become a way to make sure what kind of vocal ability the singer will poses. The different qualities are as follows, vocal transition and the range of vocals that make up the sound.

The magic of being able to sing will also be in mans heart. The ability to do so perfectly and beautifully is a high coveted. Many people fall in love simply because of how good a singer can be.
