Know the lingo!

To some people, singing "lingo" may sound like gibberish. They may not understand what certain words mean and so some words would sound odd to them. As a vocalist, it is important to know the terms that are used in the vocal world. Legato, falsetto, resonance, trill, A Capella, scoop, projection, etc. The list could go on and on. Kristina Seleshanko, who specializes in voice training and coaching, gives a list of helpful "Singing Terms" on her website. The list does not include all of the words used by vocalists, but it is a very good list of the basics. Click here to see the list.

There is much more to singing then how you sound in the shower or driving in your car alone. Don't be caught not understanding words and terms that are so commonly used in the vocal world. Know the lingo!
