1. The singers are not synchronized in terms of pitch and arrangement; some people sing faster, some slower, some sing it smaller like “we are the peoplee” and some sing it longer like “we are the peeeeeopleeeee”
2. Each 100 person choir is not pitch perfect; When you sing, you hit notes, although you will never hit them 100% perfect, it’s either almost perfect or not at all perfect. Now, in a choir, when 100 people sing, their pitches are not always perfect so they do not collide with each other and this make it sound more “detuned” a.k.a more widespread on the hearing stereo field.
3. Their volume is not equal; Some people sing louder and some people sing less louder.
4. Their vocal characteristics difference; Not everyone have the same voice, it’s different voices giving out the same sound, which again doesn’t clash with each other and sound more defined in the stereo field.
During recording choir, if it’s a team then the team will do chorus and record it. However, a single person can also do a choir by recording him/herself different takes of the same lyric and arranging them so they don’t hit at the same time (hit a few milliseconds later) and panning them on the stereo field.
I hope you can understand this well now, AMA if you have doubts.
