Diction in Choral Singing

Diction in choral singing refers to how clearly and precisely singers pronounce words, ensuring the lyrics are understandable to the audience. Good diction involves controlling consonants and vowels so that each word is articulated accurately without sacrificing vocal quality. It balances clarity with musical expression, allowing the message to be conveyed effectively while maintaining the tone and harmony of the choir. Proper diction enhances communication, helping the audience connect with the music and the text, and is an essential aspect of professional choral performance.
