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.
What do you call the oohs and aahs in a song?
We use the term "vocable" to describe sounds singers make that are outside of intelligible language. Beyond "oohs" and "aahs" it would also include whoops, screams, pops, clicks, lip buzzes and any of the other thousands of sounds the human voice can make.
