what they talk about Even though the language is different, everyone singscan become universal. While a Cypriot singer can sing in Turkish very easily, he cannot do the same when speaking Turkish.

Put your accent aside their singingIs it an innate talent? Or do you think this works for everyone?

The loss of accent while singing is comparable to the stuttering of someone who does not stutter while singing.

Accent is the phonological structure of a language. (phonological) and articulatory (articulation) because of its characteristics. How words are emphasized while speaking, the length of vowels and how sounds are produced determine the accent difference. However, when singing, the vowels must be lengthened in a long and musical manner.

Lengthening of vowels and sung with a steady tone, It can make the accent disappear. Because accents are generally more pronounced on short vowels and in the production of consonants.

As we sing and talk, our brains activate different regions.

The functioning of the brain in relation to language and musical processing processes use different cortical pathways. The left side of the brain is dominant in processing speech and language. Music, on the other hand, is mainly processed on the right side and mainly elements such as rhythm, melody and harmony are evaluated here. While singing, the brain focuses on the music and phonological accent differences are relegated to the background.

Naturally sing a songBecause it becomes an automatic behavior over time, the pronunciation of some words and phrases is learned by the brain.

The breathing technique used while singing is another factor that contributes to the loss of accent.

Breath control is achieved through active use of the diaphragm, and this increases the resonance of the sound. Speaking uses the diaphragm and control of airflow from the lungs. It causes the normal throat, mouth and tongue muscles to work differently. This produces the sound with less local variation (accent).

Concept of prosody also stands out here. This concept refers to the rhythmic, intonation and stress characteristics of a language. In speech, prosodic structures ensure that the accent becomes clear. People in different regions place different emphasis on words, creating accents. But in singing, language leaves its prosodic structure to the rhythmic structure of the song.

As you can see, this situation actually has to do with our brain. a physiological state. It seems less surprising now, doesn’t it?
