VOCALISE Meaning and Definition

  1. Vocalise, as a verb, refers to the act of uttering or producing sounds or words using one's voice. It is the vocalization or making of vocal sounds, either by speaking or singing.

    In the context of speech, vocalise entails articulating words or expressions audibly and orally. It involves the use of the vocal cords and respiratory system to generate sound waves that form speech. Vocalisation is not limited to actual words but can also include phonetic sounds, such as grunts or laughter, that convey meaning or expression.

    Vocalise can also involve singing or performing with the voice. In this context, it usually refers to the production of musical sounds using the voice as the primary instrument. It can encompass a range of singing techniques, vocal styles, and genres, and is often accompanied by melody, rhythm, and lyrics. Vocalising can express various emotions, convey a message, or provide entertainment. It requires control over pitch, tone, and dynamics to effectively convey the intended musical expression.

    Furthermore, as a noun, vocalise can refer to a musical composition or exercise specifically designed to develop and strengthen vocal skills. These exercises typically involve vocalizing specific sounds, scales, arpeggios, or patterns, either spoken or sung. Vocalises serve as a means of vocal practice, helping singers refine their technique, expand their range, improve their breath control, and enhance their overall vocal performance.

  2. To form into voice; to utter distinctly with the voice; to practise singing on the vowel-soudns.
