What is it called when you sing nonsense words?

Examples of popular music employing non-lexical vocables include: A cappella (singing without instrumental accompaniment, sometimes accompanied by a chorus of nonsense syllables) Beatboxing (vocal percussion) Doo-wop (style of rhythm and blues music that often employs nonsense syllables)

What is singing gibberish called?

In vocal jazz, scat singing is vocal improvisation with wordless vocables, nonsense syllables or without words at all. In scat singing, the singer improvises melodies and rhythms using the voice as an instrument rather than a speaking medium.

How do you scat in music?

Try mimicking actual sung lyrics, but don't use the words. Practice capturing the singer's melody with random syllables instead of words to get used to scat. As you improve, start copying guitar, horn, and other lines with your mouth, using whatever syllables come to mind to replicate the sound.
