Question: What is the specific biological reason why some people have good singing voices and others don't!?
Take, for example, my sister and I!. We have the same set of parents as well as the same environment!. Yet, I sing near two octaves off while she has managed to gain near-absolute pitch (she can even transpose music to her own range by just listening to the music once)!. We've both had no formal training, although she was in a school Chorus for a year!.
What part of the brain controls pitch and what difference, structurally, could our vocal chords have to account for such extremes!?Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
Great question, and a tough one at the same time, thank you!. The real answer is that great singing and/or speaking voices are part genetics, part training; and several components of the brain are actually involved in the process!.

You probably already know about the motor cortex, needed to control the mouth and vocal tract, and the ears and the portion of the cerebellum they feed; but additionally, Drs!. Zarate and Zatorre, in a brain study at the Montréal Neurological Institute, Montréal, QB, CAN, observed activity detected in the anterior cingulate cortex and insula during MRI scans of singers in action--these zones are part of the feedback loop necessary for frequency control at the larynx!.

The medical community is still studying the microgenetic differences that have been observed in families, so a definitive answer in that area is uncertain!. I happen to be a particularly sharp-eared countertenor, with a basso brother and two baritenor nephews of average musical ability!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

When it comes to genes everything gets mixed up because sometimes you can get a gene that passed through your mom and dad or something like that plus singing hasn't really been proven as a real gene

that's why they had that show Where they take kids from rockstars and see if they can singWww@Enter-QA@Com

There really isn't one - it's like any characteristic or talent that someone has - like why is someone a good basketball player or something - a lot of times it's genetic!.!.!.but even that can't really explain itWww@Enter-QA@Com

my dad can sing=my brother and i can sing
my mom cant sing=my sister and other brother cant sing

you can learn to sing but im talking about natural talentWww@Enter-QA@Com

I asked this question awhile back and got pretty dumb answers, but you worded it perfectly!. But sorry don't know the answer!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

wow!. im wondering this too!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
