Encyclopedia > Vocalization

In animals, vocalization is a means of communication generated in many cases by their primitive versions of vocal chords.


In birds, it may be achieved by whistling but can communicate a number of things including danger.


It is also used to describe the noises made via the blowhole of mammalian sea creatures such as whales and porpoises.


In humans, it is a special means of communication called speech.


In languages with consonantal alphabets (sometimes inaccurately termed abjads), vocalization refers to the process of adding vowel markers (Arabic tashkil, Hebrew niqqud). See also: Arabic alphabet, Tiberian vocalization, Syriac alphabet.

Singer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (389 words)
In music a singer or vocalist is a type of musician who uses his or her voice as an instrument to make music.
A lead singer (in barbershop music simply called a lead) is one who sings the primary vocals of a song, as opposed to a backup singer who sings backup vocal(s) to a song or harmonies to the lead singer.
An exception is in five-part gospel a cappella music, where the lead is the highest of the five voices and sings a descant, never the melody which may be in any of the other four parts.
