One of the first outlaw country singers, the “Big Iron” singer Marty Robbins’ prolific career lasted over 40 years, recording more than 500 songs. While it seemed that alcoholism would limit his career in the ’70s, Jones proved to have a whole lot more in store for the world when he released his greatest hit “He Stopped Loving Her Today.” Only a few individuals have left a greater mark on country music than Jones.

Where the term is employed in this way, it is usually in the context of the late Romantic German operas or " music dramas" that were composed by Richard Wagner and others in the 19th century. Thus, Sprechgesang is often merely a German alternative to 'recitative'. [2] Sprechstimme [ edit ] Similarly, in this live performance of ‘Picture to Burn’ from 2006, the story is at the centre - so much so that she speaks key passages rather than singing them. And while this works from a storytelling point of view, the nuts and bolts of her voice are obviously struggling - it’s pitchy, insecure and doesn’t feel entirely safe, but the narrative of the song survives thanks to her delivery. Some singers learn other music jobs, such as the composing, music producing and songwriting. Some singers put videos on YouTube and streaming apps. Singers market themselves to buyers of vocal talent, by doing auditions in front of a music director. Depending on the style of vocal music that a person has trained in, the "talent buyers" that they seek out may be record company, A&R representatives, music directors, choir directors, nightclub managers, or concert promoters. A CD or DVD with excerpts of vocal performances is used to demonstrate a singer's skills. Some singers hire an agent or manager to help them to seek out paid engagements and other performance opportunities; the agent or manager is often paid by receiving a percentage of the fees that the singer gets from performing onstage. A different example of a singing competition is Don't Forget the Lyrics!, where the show's contestants compete to win cash prizes by correctly recalling song lyrics from a variety of genres. The show contrasts to many other music-based game shows in that artistic talent (such as the ability to sing or dance in an aesthetically pleasing way) is irrelevant to the contestants' chances of winning; in the words of one of their commercials prior to the first airing, "You don't have to sing it well; you just have to sing it right." In a similar vein, The Singing Bee combines karaoke singing with a spelling bee-style competition, with the show featuring contestants trying to remember the lyrics to popular songs.

Tessitura is the range of your voice where you sing most comfortably. This range includes the low and high notes you can reach without straining your voice, and it’s an excellent indicator of where your singing voice will shine. You shouldn’t struggle to belt out these notes, and the voice should remain rested. Clippinger, David Alva (1917). The head voice and other problems: Practical talks on singing. Oliver Ditson. p. 12.

With a middling soprano range that seems more secure in its middle and lower echelons, Tay-Tay’s singing voice is not the most technically adept in the pop world. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t doing interesting things with it… However, the use of an overly strong chest voice in the higher registers in an attempt to hit higher notes in the chest can lead to forcing. Forcing can lead consequently to vocal deterioration.
