2) " Singing" -- As it applies to Karaoke Singing Singing is the act of producing musical sounds with the voice. Air is expelled with the diaphragm as with ordinary breathing, and the pitch is altered with the vocal cords. With the lips closed, this is called humming. A pieceof music that is sung is called a song ; someone whosings is called a singer.
