In vocal jazz, scat singing is vocal improvisation with wordless vocables, nonsense syllables or without words at all. Scat singing is a difficult technique that requires singers with the ability to sing improvised melodies and rhythms using the voice as an instrument rather than a speaking medium.
Characteristics
Structure and syllable choice
Though scat singing is improvised, the melodic lines are often variations on scale and arpeggio fragments, stock patterns and riffs, as is the case with instrumental improvisers. As well, scatting usually incorporates musical structure. All of Ella Fitzgerald's scat performances of "How High the Moon", for instance, use the same tempo, begin with a chorus of a straight reading of the lyric, move to a "specialty chorus" introducing the scat chorus, and then the scat itself.Will Friedwald has compared Ella Fitzgerald to Chuck Jones directing his Roadrunner cartoon—each uses predetermined formulas in innovative ways.
The deliberate choice of scat syllables also is a key element in vocal jazz improvisation. Syllable choice influences the pitch articulation, coloration, and resonance of the performance. Syllable choice also differentiated jazz singers' personal styles: Betty Carter was inclined to use sounds like "louie-ooie-la-la-la" (soft-tongued sounds or liquids) while Sarah Vaughan would prefer "shoo-doo-shoo-bee-ooo-bee" (fricatives, plosives, and open vowels). The choice of scat syllables can also be used to reflect the sounds of different instruments. The comparison of the scatting styles of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan reveals that Fitzgerald's improvisation mimics the sounds of swing-erabig bands with which she performed, while Vaughan's mimics that of her accompanying bop-era small combos.

Key & Peele showcases the fearless wit of stars Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele as the duo takes on everything from "Gremlins 2" to systemic racism. With an array of sketches as wide-reaching as they are cringingly accurate, the pair has created a bevy of classic characters, including Wendell, the players of the East/West Bowl and President Obama's Anger Translator.

Ella Fitzgerald's Signature Singing Style, Explained By Jazzmeia Horn
Ella Fitzgerald is celebrated as one of the most important jazz singers of all time not just for the quality of her voice, but also for her groundbreaking improvisational skills. "Ella could not only sing a melody," says Jazzmeia Horn, "she could scat the hell out of some chord changes and sound just like an instrumentalist." Horn is a creative, expressive jazz singer who's also an impressive improviser. "I like to say that I am continuing the legacy, or the tradition, of vocal improvisation," Horn says. So we asked her to explain what scat singing is and demonstrate her own twist on Fitzgerald's trademark skill.

Learn the scat syllables like a new language and tell stories with your voice, while you follow my lines and the music with your ears and eyes.
Breathe easy and natural, don't stick to the syllables on the screen.
It's just a little help for beginners.
Train your ears, voice, and style with this fun chapter of improvisation.
Don't stare at the screen to get the syllables, rather use your ears!
Repeat the practice now and then, it will become easier and easier for you.
If the scat phrases are too tricky for you, simplify them by focusing on the melody OR the syllables.
The breaks are always long enough so that you can sing along my scat lines altogether. You have missed the right starting point if they do not fit in.
When you've reached the point, where you can sing all the lines, try to focus on the harmonization (as you hear it in the repeating voices)

Incredible singing was just one part of a recent cabaret show at the EpiphanyCenter for the Arts. There was also scatting, snapping and dramatic flair ...Performers may sing, dance, recite poetry, share stories, tell jokes or deliver skits.
Nothing sings in the holidays like this album ... Scat singing, Herbie Hancock and a Dixieland “Frosty the Snowman” make this worth a listen ... Scat singing, Herbie Hancock and a Dixieland “Frosty the Snowman” make this worth a listen.
14 ... ILLIT (Belift Lab) ... The unique, upbeat scat singing (“Tick-Tack”) in the chorus lingers with the listener long after the initial listen, resembling the sound of a clock ticking and the fickle mind that changes by the second ... 94 ... No ... Sanctuary (EP). No.
Their second song involved a bit of vocal improvisation from Taylor in the form of scat singing while Aaron responded with dialogue of his own from the upright bass.
He gets the audience, for instance, to sing along to “You ... As he records “Heebie Jeebies,” Iglehart’s Louis drops his sheet music and, while fumbling for words, seems to invent scat-singing on the spot.
Check that little organ flourish just before Jackson starts singing, or the freewheeling ... There’s that jazz scholarship again, too, in the joyously silly backing vocals from scat-singing Patti Austin.
By the time Leonard Bernstein wrote his one-act opera (1952), mod cons had pushed lofty ideals out of the way ... He embraced jazz harmonies, shoo-be-doo scat singing for the commentating trio (oddly amplified here but well sung) and colloquial dialogue.
He embraced jazz harmonies, shoo-be-doo scat singing for the commentating trio (oddly amplified here but well sung) and colloquial dialogue ... Only happiness is absent. In one version of the text (Bernstein wrestled with the work), Dinah asks.
Rich histories flow into sound poetry and extended vocal technique, whether avant-garde movements such as Dada and Lettrism, jazz vocal techniques such as scat, or supernatural glossolalia.
Instead of singing legible words he hummed and scatted to the melody ...Fans in the comments speculated that he either forgot one of his biggest hits or was just plain tired of singing it.
Common traits include operatic singing, hypnotic textures, elusive rhythms, long melodic phrases, and improvisation ... This comes from playing while vocalizing in a way that presents itself as radical scat singing, which also has roots in jazz music.
There are spoilers ahead ...Constructor ... Editor ... I'm 100% certain I cannot even come close to performing like Missy Elliott.SCAT (33D ... She was particularly known for her SCAT singing skills (vocal improvisation with nonsense syllables or no words at all).
... of the boogie, the beat Here, Wonder Mike samples scatting (or scat singing), which is a part of the jazz tradition, and had Al “The Acrobat of Scat” Jarreau as one of its popularizers.
