Okay, what's the actual point of this website? It's just a glossary of singing terms, that if you sing at all you would know pretty much all of them. Even the "resources" section that links to youtube just links to a search on youtube of the term, not a specific video. Was this just your AI project for fun?

Not everyone studies theory. I sing in my church choir but I had heard of almost none of these terms before. So don't underestimate the value of a glossary.

The actual point is a guide for people who wants to sing or already sings. A handy tool to lookup how to ...

I'm not positioning it as anything else.

Regarding AI. Sure i used it. But i use it as A(ssited) I(ntelligence). Being both a singer and developer I hope I qualify

I recommend the CVT app for more comprehensive information. (Also the Estill book is quite good if you have an Estill teacher.)

You should ask the word machine to try a little harder to be consistent about the language it uses:

> Adele (signatur), de fleste popsangere bruger det selektivt

(I'm assuming you didn't spot this bit during your proofreading because this, whatever it is, is your native tongue)

Oh. Thanks. Yes that's a slip. And yes it's my native (danish).

Updating ...

For the average non-schooled singer there is a lot of new information here. I have sung most of my life, in choirs, in church, and otherwise (not much in the shower though), and don't explicitly know most of these things. I have heard there are things like chest and head voice but I wouldn't know where one ends and the other begins.
