'tricky'? when we speak, we use pitch. when we sing, we specify those pitches and, we specify these pitches for a specific duration. usually, this means it takes us longer to say the words while we are singing than while we are talking. additionally, we often have to use a wider range of pitches when we sing. accommodating these differences is a matter of degree not a matter of complete change, as in whistling and chewing. in fact, i would go so far as to say that there is more difference between consonants and vowels than there is between talking and singing.
