vocal technique
How singers perform
Vocal technique refers to the methods and skills a singer or speaker uses to control their voice effectively.
This encompasses breath support, pitch control, resonance, articulation, and the ability to move smoothly between registers.
Trained singers develop vocal technique to extend their range, project without strain, and maintain vocal health over years of performance.
Her vocal technique allows her to sustain long phrases without audible breathing.
The term also applies to speech therapy and public speaking contexts.
