Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of singing. Singing means producing a succession of tones (sounds) at definite pitches from the human throat or voice-box. To become a singer, it is necessary to have a voice and a lot of other things—but first of all a voice. People sing with the throat and not over the throat or in the sinuses. As singing is a combination of voice, technique, magnetism (or personality), a sense of truth and beauty, and a command of tone color, it necessarily follows that the fortunate possessor of all these attributes, acquired or inborn, is in every sense of the word a good singer. Singing is sustained talking on a tune. One sings to express and that can only be done through the words. A singer may know all about the throat, nose, and ear from the physiological point of view—but the knowledge will be entirely useless unless the singer can train the ear to appreciate the difference between right and wrong. Speaking and singing are learned by ear.
