Summary:How do singers communicate with each other while performing? In this study, pairs of singers rehearsed three duets separately, and then performed them together for the first time in the lab. Since singers cannot talk to one another during a performance to assist in coordinating their actions, they must use other modes of communication to synchronize their performances.
