Songs are thought to have been used even before the birth of modern languages, dating back to the oldest recordings of humankind (as early as 800 B.C.). Until the fourteenth century, singers in Western culture were frequently constrained to singing only in churches. The emergence of operas and subsequent performances paved the way for today’s professional singers. A singer is an artist or performer who uses numerous techniques and training to create a vocal song. Singers train regularly and appoint professional voice teachers to aid them in refining their craft. Singers might also compose their music or perform on music composed by others. Singers also work as music teachers or voice coaches and sing to pay their bills.
