Because like Musical Instruments, the human voice accounts for complete control of the four parameters of broadcast sound*: Frequency (Pitch), Duration (how long it lasts), Amplitude (how loud it is) and Timbre (pronounced TAM-bure - meaning the quality of the sound. As an example of timbre - a flute playing a middle C sounds different than a Clarinet playing a middle C).

A perfect example of the vast capabilities of the human voice can effect these qualities of sound is illustrated by the late Frank Royon Le Mée. Google his name, watch the documentary. You may not like what he's doing here, but he does clearly illustrate our inherent abilities in this regard.

* - The parameters of broadcast sound differs slightly from the parameters of received sound, as the ladder also includes a fifth element, spacial location: the direction of the origin of the sound event in the three dimension sound field.

hope this helps.
