Singer

A singer or vocalist is a type of musician who sings. i.e. uses the voice as an instrument to make music.

Voices are commonly classified into:

Female voices:

Male voices:

An unrelated use of the word Singer is in reference to the Singer Corporation, which is a U.S.-based maker of sewing machines.
