The voice: the weapon of the singer

First and foremost, singers have a voice that will thrill anyone who listens to them. Having a voice that doesn't break your ears is the most important thing.

What's more, a good singer, if he or she really wants to specialize in the craft, needs to know a few basics about music. Most singers know how to use at least one musical instrument associated with their singing category.

The qualities of a singer

A singer is identified by the quality of his voice and the kind of music he makes. If a singer is also a composer, he or she must master the tools of the trade. The sound must be in perfect harmony with the song and the rhythm.

He must know how to alternate silence, melody and singing. A singer needs to be a good listener. In this way, he can get the job done and achieve infallible song quality. A singer needs to work constantly on his vocal timbre and pay close attention to his diet to maintain a good voice.

A rapper: captivating lyrics

A musical culture derived from hip-hop, rap is composed of rhythmic poetry. It's all about getting a message across. For a singer, the most important element to work on is the voice.

However, for the rapper, the text and the rhythm are the heart of the music. Although some rappers have quite admirable voices, they don't need to work on their voices. The pace is fast, and most of the lyrics are topical.

How do you recognize a good rapper?

Rappers need to have the vocabulary and the words to produce a powerful lyric. Very often, rappers write their song lyrics themselves.

In this case, a passion for writing is part of a rapper's character. For those who can't, composing their own text calls in a songwriter. The rapper has the power to give life to a written text through the way he interprets it.

Rapper and singer: two different personalities

Rap, like singing, has its place in music culture. You can hear a little rap in a song, just as you can sing rap. And yet, when you get right down to it, you realize how vastly different they are. For example, when it comes to clothing, the singer can look like any normal person.

On the one hand, it's easy to recognize a rapper at a glance. When it comes to their way of speaking, you can see the big difference. In terms of lifestyle, a rapper and a singer are two completely different people.
