Blend: One of the key factors in choral singing is blending many voices to sound as one. This involves modifying vowels, matching voice colours, and decreasing vibrato, all to make a seamless sound. In solo singing, the objective is to make the voice stand out against the other instruments.

The range of the solo parts are usually greater than that of the choral parts; the tessitura (the general area where a piece of music “lies” in the voice) is often higher; a larger sound with more amplitude of resonance and a greater palette of colors is often required from the soloist.
