Join Dr Dan in this fascinating exploration of the energy demands in “Speaking vs Singing,” where he compares vocal dose and vocal load between these two common voice activities. The analysis delves into how speaking typically involves a higher vocal dose, as people spend more time talking throughout the day. However, when considering vocal load, singing emerges as the clear winner with its heightened demands on the vocal system.
Singing expands an individual’s phonatory limits by increasing frequency and intensity ranges and strengthening the voice beyond what is necessary for extended speech. The skills required for singing must be intentionally taught and learned, much like how a running coach trains an athlete in correct techniques to run fast and avoid injury.
Furthermore, singing often involves increased physical activity and rhythmic movements, contributing to higher energy expenditure compared to speaking. Dr Dan emphasizes the importance of understanding the energy requirements for both “Speaking vs Singing” to prevent vocal wear and tear and the need for intentional teaching to develop strong vocal skills.
