Phonetical singing
For the DreamWorks animated film The Prince of Egypt, Israeli singer Ofra Haza sang most of the 17 versions of the song "Deliver Us" phonetically.Singers can adjust the shape of their mouth to affect the tone and quality of their voice, advantageously, or, if they do not understand the phonetics aspect, disadvantageously.[1] Understanding the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) can help a singer with the pronunciation of words.In Spanish, the pronunciation for "quinceañera" is similar, but the [ɹ] is replaced by a tap-n-flap or the [ɾ] phonetic symbol."[3] These subtle differences change everything about the way the singer can mimic sounds as identical as they can to the word's origin.
