Marking (Logistics)

Letters, numbers, and other symbols placed on cargo packages to facilitate identification. Also known as marks.

Marking (Opera)

The practice used by many singers to save their voices in rehearsals; singers will sing in what seems to be a mere whisper, or transpose the vocal lines so that they don’t have to sing extremely high or low notes. This is done as a vocal protection—singing too strenuously, or without getting the voice properly warmed up can lead to vocal strain and throat problems. Audience members at Opera Pacific’s final dress rehearsal may hear some of the singers "marking."

Marking (Public Speaking)

Adding a gender reference when none is needed-e.g., "a woman doctor."

Marking (Soccer)

Guarding and defending a player to prevent him from advancing the ball towards the net, making a pass or getting the ball from a teammate.
