Why can people hum certain high/low notes but can’t sing them?
In: Biology
Certain vowel sounds stress or tighten the vocal cords more than others. For example, singing a high pitched “ee” sound is harder than a high pitched “oh” sound. When you hum, your vocal cords don’t need to differentiate vowel sounds and instead produce sound in a more relaxed state.
surely if you can hum a note you just open your mouth and then you are singing it? or am I missing something
It’s like certain vowels. You can sing them it just requires different amounts of breath and people who hum a note prolly aren’t putting enough into their chest or too much into their chest to correctly sing it.
