What is it called when you sing without words?
A cappella (singing without instrumental accompaniment, sometimes accompanied by a chorus of nonsense syllables)
What is a song without vocals?
An instrumental is a recording normally without any vocals, although it might include some inarticulate vocals, such as shouted backup vocals in a big band setting. Through semantic widening, a broader sense of the word song may refer to instrumentals.
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.
