How Singing Is Done For Vocal Competitions

By Walter Brooks


The idea of singing has been in the mind and instinct of human beings. Since the Neanderthals had risen out from caves, man has sung. Back then though, this was done in an imitation to various sounds that the environment around them produces. Inspired by the beautiful sounds a bird makes and how nice they sound singing, people decided to take it up as the love for it grew and grew over time.

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.

There are different kinds done when singing, these are formal or informal. Now these would depend on the what the situation is. Formal singing is used often when recording an album or when one is up on stage and performing in front of other people. For informal, this is often seen when a person is at home or with other people, having a good time and hanging out. So it is nothing serious and just fun.

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.

In classical opera and in European music as a whole, the vocal talent of a person is considered to be a musical instrument. So much time is spent in tuning and improving it to become much better much later in time. In fact, many composers that make these operas have to make sure that the singers range fits into how the score is played during the performance when it is held.

Voice classification was eventually created to identify vocal properties. This had become a from of evaluation and its conclusion is to designate the vocal types. These qualities are, but not limited to, the vocal range, weight of vocals and the vocal transition that lifts 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.
