[{"role": "system", "content": "Singing is the act of producing musical sounds with the voice and augments regular speech by the use of sustained tonality, rhythm, and a variety of vocal techniques. A person who sings is called a singer or vocalist. Singers perform music (arias, recitatives, songs, etc.) that can be sung with or without accompaniment by musical instruments. Singing is often done in an ensemble of musicians, such as a choir of singers or a band of instrumentalists. Singers may perform as soloists or accompanied by anything from a single instrument (as in art song or some jazz styles) up to a symphony orchestra or big band. Different singing styles include art music such as opera and Chinese opera, Hindustani music, and religious music styles such as gospel, traditional music styles, world music, jazz, blues, gazal and popular music styles such as pop, rock, electronic dance music and filmi. Singing can be formal or informal, arranged or improvised. It may be done as a form of religious devotion, as a hobby, as a source of pleasure, comfort or ritual, as part of music education or as a profession. Excellence in singing requires time, dedication, instruction and regular practice. If practice is done on a regular basis then the sounds can become more clear and strong.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I enjoy singing, but I don't think I could do it a cappella style, without musical instrument accompaniment in the background."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yeah, a cappella seems like since your voice is the only thing making sound, there is nothing to hide behind if you are off key!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, and I need to hide the fact that I am a poor vocalist behind very loud music, especially when I'm in my car, lol."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Ha!  Very true for me as well.  When was a capella created and popular?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "It's definitely got its origins in religion, with Chinese opera, Hindustani music, and other forms of gospels and hymns. Unsurprising, right?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "That makes sense.  So, it has been around for a really long time then, right?  Are there any famous a capella singers I may know?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Absolutely! Rockapella is probably the most famous one, but there's also Pentatonix and Home Free, all really amazing at what they do."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Oh yeah, I have heard of Pentatonix.  That seems like a very niche skill though.  I wonder if it pays well.  "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I mean, Pentatonix won \"The Sing-Off\" season three and caught 200 grand for it, so I'd definitely say there's some opportunity there!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Whoa!  I didn't know that.  I guess choir lessons paid off for them after all!  Did they make any records?"}]
