Singer or Vocalist. Arrow

While it might seem effortless for some, singing engages an incredible number of muscles from your diaphragm and abdominal muscles to your intercostal muscles between your ribs, and even tiny muscles in your larynx. Beyond the physical, it lights up multiple areas of your brain involved in language, memory, emotion, and motor control. That's why singing can be so mentally and physically invigorating!
