It goes further than that. Different singing techniques use more or entirely different muscle groups than talking. Some more extreme metal vocal techniques bypass the vocal cords almost entirely. Y’all should watch the Charismatic Voice videos where they stack cameras and stuff down Will Ramos’ throat.

It’s actually not.
People with a bad stutter can often sing fluently.
And with enough training, you can sing like a native speaker without understanding any of the words.
When you talk, you translate thoughts and meaning into words in real time.
When you sing, you reproduce words you’ve memorized and trained into muscle memory.
It’s a completely different neural pathway.
