Singers have always been people with the most melodious voices and can reach various ranges that most people do not normally have access to. They train to sing for many, many years to attain mastery of their voice and their vocal range. Some of the best singers can sing in more than one language because of their affinity for language and vocality due to how their brain is structured compared to non-professional singers. The ability of multilingual singers to speak and understand languages is interesting about how their brains work and what parts of their brain process language and vocality. What this paper hopes to accomplish is to see how multilingual singers’ ability to sing bilingually and vocalize is affected by their origin culture and what aspects of their singing voices are changed because of these situations. There are singers who sing songs in other languages and that are influenced by their original indigenous language. Something that will be studied in this paper and that can be studied at a later date is whether the singers’ songs being sung in the non-indigenous language or just their non-indigenous speaking ability have any influence on any songs sung in the indigenous language.
