We are talking about phrasing., and or..Singing like you speak in traditional songs, like in the Irish style of sean-nós, involves keeping a conversational, natural vocal quality rather than a formal one. To achieve this, focus on conveying the emotion and meaning of the words by maintaining your natural speech rhythm and clarity, using open-throat techniques if appropriate, and prioritizing understandable diction over complex ornamentation. The goal is for the melody to serve the text, not the other way around
