Whether it’s belting out a song in the car, singing in the shower or joining thousands of voices at a concert, singing can leave us feeling noticeably better. Dr Kathleen Mikkelsen explores what happens in our brains and bodies when we sing, from stress and breathing to pain thresholds, social connection and the so-called “singer’s high”, and explains why you don’t need to be in tune to benefit.
