A singer is a
musician who uses their
voice to produce
music. Often the singer is accompanied by musicians and instruments. While many people sing for pleasure, vocal skill is usually a combination of innate talent and professional training. A lead singer performs the primary vocals of a
song, as opposed to a
backing singer who sings backup vocals or harmonies. An exception is five-part
gospel a cappella music, where the lead is the highest of the five voices and sings a
descant, and not the
melody. Professional singers usually undergo voice training, provided by a voice teacher or coach.
