Direct how the vocal is performed
Tone describes the surface of a voice. Delivery describes what the singer does with a line: hold back, speak naturally, whisper, belt, connect, or separate the notes.

Turn emotional intentions into performable actions
- Recall delivery and articulation terms from audible behavior.
- Separate delivery from singer role, tone, genre, and mood.
- Assign different delivery cues to verses and choruses.
- Rewrite vague emotional praise as a testable performance direction.
