Gospel singing is linked to a form of singing that was invented in the slavery period, when slaves would raise slogans and chants as response to define different difficulties they used to face in the slavery. The singing then became a feature of church when the US witnessed a reforms era, and since then it is known as a Gospel singing, a regular part of church services on Sundays.

Although remembering notes or lyrics is important in this type of singing, you cannot sing without practice. So it is better to start with some practice and then go on to improve from that level.

Another important part of Gospel singing is perfection of vibrato. You should be singing in the same tone until very end of pronunciation of each word. Let yourself be heard clearly while singing each word in the choir. There is no chance for cover-up if you sing a half line and leave some words in the end of the line. This is the quality of the singing that it requires an effective response from each person clearly and in the same tone.
