Both solo and choral university singing may have an increased vocal load, exacerbating their risk of injury. This study aimed to investigate the vocal health behaviours and confidence of tertiary choral and solo classical singers. Thirty-three singers (F=84.8%, solo=15, choral=18) took part in a questionnaire about voice behaviours, confidence seeking vocal health information and awareness of vocal risks. Solo singers (70%) reported more voice difficulties compared to choral singers (47%). Solo singers dedicated significantly more time to maintaining vocal health (p= 0.03). Both groups had similar confidence in judging vocal health information. All singers struggled to judge poor vocal behaviours and did not have a good grasp of vocal health/hygiene. Solo singers engaged in potentially voice harming behaviours such as long periods of speaking or voice use at work more frequently. Students were unsure where to find reliable sources of vocal health information and how to access health professionals. Future solo and choral training should include education on vocal hygiene and vocal health information to prevent the development of harmful behaviours and reduce the chance of voice disorders.

Understanding the Vocal Skill Set for Contemporary Christian Singers: Insights from Elite Singers 理解当代基督教歌手的声乐技巧:来自精英歌手的见解

{"title":"Understanding the Vocal Skill Set for Contemporary Christian Singers: Insights from Elite Singers","authors":"","doi":"10.56307/fnxd5489","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56307/fnxd5489","url":null,"abstract":"The American Academy of Teachers of Singing (AATS), advocates that CCM singers should be taught with dedicated pedagogical approaches for each style. Recent studies, however, suggest that most contemporary Christian singers (CCS) do not receive style-appropriate vocal training. It is possible that voice teachers are not fully aware of the skill set necessary for a CCS to be successful. In this context, elite CCSs, as models of excellence, may be able to help the voice community bridge this gap and identify the ideal skill set and the best pedagogical approach for the commercial success of CCSs. For this study, we interviewed three top selling, elite CCSs with extensive experience and recognised as highly representative of their style, aiming to understand the ideal vocal skill set of commercially successful CCSs. According to the participants, ideal CCS voices should use a pop sound and not sound too classical, should sing easily, comfortably, and with freedom. The singing should be not distracting and use good diction in order to be able to communicate the message clearly. Among the most relevant findings is the suggestion that CCSs have a heavy and demanding vocal load and are at risk for vocal injury. This finding is consistent to previous studies that suggest similar issues. We hope that our findings will help the development of more appropriate private studio strategies for CCSs. Future research for this population of singers may include analysis of worship applied voice curricula.","PeriodicalId":129585,"journal":{"name":"Australian Voice","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121033367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From Participatory to Online: Exploring Contexts of Group Singing and the Role of the Singer 从参与式到在线:探索群体歌唱的语境和歌手的角色

Hughes","doi":"10.56307/qlgy6002","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56307/qlgy6002","url":null,"abstract":"This article discusses the contexts of pre- and COVID-19 impacted group singing. It begins by outlining a purposely composed work, Wordsong, that sought to create organisational identity and foster community through in-person participatory and presentational singing. The subsequent online group singing strategies that are analysed and discussed, also sought to construct new musical identities and, for many, to create or sustain communities. Described as providing a ‘lifeline’ during the COVID-19 pandemic, the context of group singing online, particularly in relation to the multitracking of a group performance, ultimately changes the role of the singer within the group aesthetic. Indeed, like most recordings, the overall aesthetic is often engineered by someone other than the singer or singers. This creates several considerations when analysing the participatory ethos of group singing online. Until latency issues are resolved and appropriate technologies are developed to enable the real-time participatory or presentational singing afforded by works such as Wordsong, then group singing online is restricted in its traditional group singing capability. Instead, it is the singer’s perception of their individual sound that becomes a focus. This is particularly evident in relation to vocal ensemble strategies that were utilised in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The article concludes with a model of the transformation from participatory singer to online audience member, that delineates the place or role of the singer within this transformation.","PeriodicalId":129585,"journal":{"name":"Australian Voice","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129062207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Leary, Rachel Drury","doi":"10.56307/ayzb7025","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56307/ayzb7025","url":null,"abstract":"The growth of outreach work in classical music organisations over the last few decades has cemented its place as a fundamental part of such organisations’ output. In doing so, it has also created a different mode of professional work for artists. However, tensions exist within the terminology that is used to describe outreach work, and in the terminology used to differentiate outreach from what is seen as the main artistic output (often performance). Academic discussion on outreach programmes has often been framed in terms of numbers, demographics, and experiences in relation to the audience. By contrast, comparatively little research exists into the experiences of, and impact for, the artists who engage in outreach work as part of their professional careers, and even less in relation to the singer. This small-scale qualitative study explored the lived experience of professional singers engaged in opera outreach work in relation to language (terminology) and perceptions of identity and status. Its aims are to gain a deeper understanding of the lived experiences of professional opera singers within this specific professional world and offer insight around the tensions in terminology in relation to their identity (professional or subjective) and status. Findings suggest there is a lack of clarity around the definition of what outreach work is, both by those inside and outside the industry. Furthermore, this lack of clarity impacts the identity and status of those singers working in opera outreach.","PeriodicalId":129585,"journal":{"name":"Australian Voice","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123112420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
