Slightly OT but we had this discussion at rehearsal a few weeks ago. Guitar = guitarist, bass = bassist, violin = violinist, drums = drumist? Is there a rule to what becomes an 'ist' or an 'er'?

DrBike Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Getting back on track - if you look at the credits on most albums/songs the normal manner for describing this is "vocals", for what we do it's "bass" and another instrument would be "guitar". Following on from this we have guitarist, bassist and ipso facto vocalist rather than singer. Of course, just to be awkward there are exceptions cos "drums" are performed by the drummer and I guess that those who play keyboards prefer to be keyboard players rather than keyboardists.

Yank Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 It's singer. As in "Who's singing this one?" Singer, not singest. I sing and play, not vocalise and play. The term is LSD, not LVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurksalot Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 A voiceover artist would definitely be a vocalist , as he is vocalising the words , but the minute you put them on a melody you will be singing it , so it has to be singer , simple really , non of your trendy vocalist wordage , it's just not big or clever 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
