Hi!
How do singers learn how to recite the lyrics to a song/piece? I have been told that singers also need to be good speakers as both speech and singing use the same voice. How do you practice reciting the lyrics? Is it done at a singing lesson? My understanding is that singing teachers don't focus much on speech at all. There is a woman who say that we have Onevoice (that's her method). We really only have one voice, I think. What are Mr Tamplin's ideas about this?
Am I talking about a holistic approach that is in fact uncommon in traditional singing methods?

regarding the lyrics, this is not normally part of the singing training, you need to do that yourself. of course you can get people helping you recite, but it is more or less something everyone has to do themselves (or resort to lyric sheets if they can't handle it otherwise)
Ken also states we speak how we speak and sing how we sing, they are 2 different ways of using our voice.
