Be an intelligent vocalist. What I mean is, know the history and facts behind vocal singing. Understand why vocal music is what it is today. Be aware of what is going on vocally in the world. The internet is a great source (if your source is credible) for learning more and educating yourself as a vocalist. There are also great vocal history books that can help as well.

Another way to be an “intelligent vocalist” is to know the history behind specific songs that you sing. By understanding where the song came from, you can more fully feel the music and words as you sing. Search out the history behind what you will be performing. That is the least that you can do out of respect for the composer who wrote the song that you are about to use.
I actually got the idea for this post from my dance class as a matter of fact. I am a dancer as well and once my dance instructor said, “Be an intelligent dancer. Know your facts and history.” I believe that this applies for many different hobbies (football, writing etc.) The more aware we are, the more we will appreciate what it is we are involved in.
So, to put this all into a nutshell, be smart.
