What is the difference between singing and speaking?

Upon closer scrutiny, singing is only a melodic form of speaking. Speaking, however, does not require you to reach notes correctly. Moreover, you do not need vocal techniques when you are talking. Yet, on a closer look, talking and singing have commonalities.

Should you stop singing after losing your voice?

Continuing to sing after losing your voice can eventually lead to the more serious vocal problems we discussed above. You should not need to push yourself or use a lot of energy to sing well. Singing with proper technique requires practice, but once you get the hang of it, it should come naturally.

Can you change your voice color when you sing?

The speaking voice, of course, has a lesser tone than the singing voice. So, when you sing, you can alter your voice’s color from brighter to a bit darker. However, if you’re not a trained singer and belong to the majority of people who do not open their mouth too much when they sing, you end up producing a monotone sound.

How do you know if you have bad singing technique?

Similarly, if you feel tension in the jaw or throat after singing, you are most likely singing with poor technique and risking damage to your vocal cords. After singing, check for tension. Place your palms on either cheek and pull down across your jaw and beside your throat. How does that feel? Test this frequently after and during singing.
