“Effects are sounds that are not connected to melody or text but are sounds that underline the expression or style of a singer. All effects are produced in the vocal tract. Besides controlling the technique for the effects singers have to take into account her/his fitness, energy level, and temperament.
Before you start working with effects, it is important that you can control the three overall principles, the chosen mode, and the sound colour.”
