What is Speech Level Singing?

"Speech Level Singing is the ability to always maintain a speech level production of tone - one that stays connected from one part of your range to another.  You don't sing like you speak, but you need to keep the same comfortable, easily produced vocal posture you have when you speak so that you don't reach up for high notes or press down for low ones.  This takes time and patience to coordinate.  A teacher needs to know how to get each of his students to sing through his or her range in a connected, easy manner, without any "breaks" or sudden changes of tone quality.  This is Speech Level Singing."  -  Seth Riggs
