    Writing an effective melody for the human voice requires carefully considering the relationship between lyrics and melody, as well as ensuring the melody can be reasonably sung without excessive leaps or breathlessness. Specifically, songwriters should evaluate a melody for its disjunctness, allow time for breathing between phrases, and avoid too great a vocal range or rapid range changes within sections.

    writing for the voice

    It is absolutely essential to the craft of songwriting that the writer sing the melody, feel it in the
    voice, reach for the high notes, and focus on experiencing the relationship between the lyric and
    the melody. Much of melody writing done for instruments, especially for the piano, is difficult or
    impossible to sing. The following are to be considered when writing for the voice:

    1. How disjunct is the melody? Too many intervallic leaps can cause the melody to be difficult or
    impossible to sing.

    2. Does the vocalist have time to breathe between phrases? Is the phrase so long that it doesn’t
    allow the singer to breathe?

    3. Is the vocal range of the song too great? Does the range within a section of the song change too
    quickly?
