Yes, I make the distinction between vocalists and singers. A vocalist is generally one who has studied voice and has learned basics of healthy singing as well as learning a variety of repertoire. A singer is a person who likes to sing, may have been in chorus or taken some voice lessons, and likes to sing whatever it is they feel like singing (usually popular music). A vocalist may be paid for their expertise, and can teach, and is paid for varying performances, but a singer generally has only one or two styles and will typically be found in a band or karaoke bar.
Check out these tips for singers! Whether you are a professional vocalist or just a singer, these healthy tips are great for anyone who sings regularly.
