What is a singable melody?

A singable melody uses mainly stepwise motion (i.e., moving from one note to an adjacent one). But all stepwise can be too predictable, and will impede melodic energy. A good melody will use occasional leaps. An upward leap can be a good way to generate emotional energy.
