This is probably only tangentially related, but in recently experiencing working with a producer for the first time (as a singer), I was taught to use my mind to convey meaning through the words, as in fusing the words with an energy that will make people FEEL them, not just hear them. This seems like such a simple and obvious thing, but I've never once considered it prior to the suggestion of the producer. I'm aware of the lyrics, and aware of things like pitch and key, but I've always looked at it like putting poetry to music, never once thought of trying to make people "feel the words". I just finished the first song and my vocals sound so different than they used to; I can, for the first time, just as a listener, actually feel the words, just like I can feel the music.
