Singers read, memorize, and perform music to live audiences or in the studio. They may receive formal education and training, or rely purely on raw talent and hard work. Singers also collaborate with other artists and increase their employment prospects by learning to play instruments, act, and dance. A singer is someone who vocalizes musical sounds with tone and pitch, and uses his or her own voice to produce music. Singers may sing solo or in a group, and are oftentimes accompanied by instrumental music.
