Singing is just talking with more tone variations.

  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.

    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.

    I once danced with a friend while we both sang along with “love the way you lie”. I was surprised to discover, a few minutes later in conversation, they had no idea what the lyrics were about

    If you’re comparing freestyle rapping is this still the case? What about reciting a memorized poem? (I agree with you, I’m just curious if you know where the boundaries are because I sure don’t)

  Take singing lessons and you’ll very soon understand that it’s absolutely not.

  Everything we do is just breathing with more motor activity.

    Nope. there’s three domains that are typically distinguished: the biochemical, mechanical, and neural level.

    You wouldn’t call a thinking process a “motor activity” since the ideal neural net has practically no moving parts, similar to an ideal computing machine.

  Incomplete. There are also rythmic and non-grammatical timing variations.

  No i think there’s also rhythm to it.

  Fun fact: Many people who stutter can sing just fine.

  I attribute it to the fact that music enforces a certain rhythm and that makes you move on with your speech more fluently than you would otherwise do.

  Of course, there are also tonal languages. I find it quite interesting that in some parts of the world the same written sentence can have an entirely different meaning depending on the inflection of the words.
