Defining Improvements in Vocal Technique

I am laying out my working definition of what it means to have made progress in one’s singing technique. At this time, it seems that just a few sentences can cover the important points.

1. Vocalize more easily in general. Make a variety of sounds more spontaneously, rather than “producing” them.
2. Improvement in quantifiables such as range, dynamics, flexibility, and vowel clarity.
3. The song seems to come from the singer himself, and not be a “reading” of the song.
4. Greater positivity and joy in the act of singing.

Feel free to comment if you feel that something is missing or unclear.
