Singing is tedious, boring, and unnatural if it lacks flexibility, which
permits a voice to fluctuate in color, power, emotional intensity, range, and pitch modulation. It could also mean bending the vocal line, perhaps by sliding from one note to another, for example, in an especially emotional way.

The principle of legato is closely connected with another important idea in
singing: enunciation—pronouncing words clearly. All good singers are able to accomplish two goals in this respect: they are able to enunciate words and phrases that are understandable and do so in unique ways.

Intonation—“singing-in-tune”—is basic to all good singing. Singing is
music, and music requires above all else, good intonation. I have often heard music lovers make excuses for singers who sing off-pitch, but seem to be able to convey the emotions and meaning of songs nonetheless.

Dynamic intensity is related to tonal coloration, but in this case the singer
is modulating emotional energy rather than vocal color. The compass for dynamic intensity in the voice is immense: a singing voice could swell with emotions and project heated sensual desire or it could be devoid of strong feelings all together, and meander casually through a song. A good singer not only can control which emotion is being expressed in her voice, but also the degree to which it’s expressed.

Another principle of singing we already alluded to is vocal coloration.
This quality deals with a singer’s ability to vary the tonal colors of his voice in order to evoke the desired effect from his listeners.
