Objectives : The purpose of this study was to systematically analyze and compare e acoustic sound structure of vocal major student's singing voice. Materials and Methods : The nineteen vocal major students were the subject group and healthy nineteen females were the control group for this study. The subject group was taken a strobovideolaryngoscopy by the use of flexible nasopharyngoscopy. And acoustic analysis was taken between two groups. Additionally the inquiry on usual voice problems and management was performed by thirty-six vocal major students. Results : The subject group presents many functional voice disorder findings such as AP contraction(44%), phase difference(36%) tremor(25%), posterior gap(17%), hyperadduction of vestibular fold(6%), and anterior gap(3%) on strobovideolaryngoscopy. And the vocal major students did reveal an enhanced number of high frequency harmonic partials when singing compared to the control group in the narrow band spectrum study. But there was no significant difference in jitter, shimmer and noise to harmonic ratio in both groups. Almost all vocal major students present a lot of voice problems in singing such as loss of high note(17%), loss of quiet voice(17%), effortful and tired voice(36%) etc on inquiry. And they always effort to prevent vocal dysfunction by the use of various type of method such as voice rest(28%), hydration(28%), gargling with salt(11%) etc. Conclusions : The vocal major students always take care of maintaining a good voice condition, but a lot of vocal major students revealed abnormal strobovideolaryngoscopic findings and they are absent in the conception of systemic and scientific voice management. Therefore, the young singers need a good voice training and voice therapy Program under the good ralationship of laryngologist and voice training teacher.

Vocal Register Transition(Passaggio) is one of the most important vocal technique for classically trined male singers(tenor). Passaggio is that it bridges the chest register to head register without a noticeable voice break. Vocalist gest the feeling that voice is not locked a particular register. The purpose of this study was to clarify the difference between easy($B_3$) tone and non passaggio(F#_4$) & passaggio(F#_4$). We selected 6 trained singers(tenor), who had more than 12.6 years of experience and were well trained in passaggio technique. Simulataneous measurement was performed frequency(F0), mean flow rate(MFR), intensity(I), and subglottal pressure(Psub) using a phonatory function analyzer(Nagashima) and Closed Quotient(CQ), Jitter, Shimmer, NHR a Electro-glottography(EGG) of Lx. Speech Studio(Laryngogrph Lt, London, UK) and vocal efficiency was calculated by Carroll's method. For the tenor, target tone/a/was measured in three conditions : 1) easy phonation : $B_3$, 2) high tone without passaggio : F#_4$, 3) high tone with passaggio : F#_4$). The results revealed that F0 of the target tones between non-passaggio group and passaggio group were not significantly different though higher is F0, higher is subglottal pressure. And also CQ, MFR, Psub were increased in passagio than nonpssagio but these values were not statistically different. This study concluded that passaggio is the vocal technique to make the same quality of tone between chest register and head register in tenor.

The purpose of this study is to find clues to the risk of voice disorders in soprano students. The subjects of the study were 17 soprano students and 18 general students (women). The phonation of vowels /a/, /i/, and /u/ with C4 and F4 notes in each group were recorded. Then, only soprano students were made to record their classical vocalization containing vibrato. Formant, formant energy, bandwidth, VAI (vowel area index), VSA (vowel space area) and L/H ratio were analyzed. There was significant difference in F3 such that the singers' note was measured around 3 kHz which seems to be 400 Hz higher than one from general students. But, There was no significant difference in L/H ratio between soprano student and the general student. There was a significant difference in F3 in the comparison of the soprano students' two vocalization methods. Classical vocalization was measured at 200Hz higher than sustained phonation in F3. Vocal tract adjustment was made and vowel space changed, but there was no significant difference in F3 energy, which is the index of singers' formant according to the phonation method. The L/H ratio, which can be a direct indicator of vocal effort, has no difference in phonation method and is lowered in all phonation methods as the pitch increases. C4 and F4 pitches are lower than the singing range of the soprano. When the pitch changes, vocal effort increases like a general student which will be an indicator of the risk of vocalization. This will be a clue to the vocalization of the immature soprano student.

It's not easy to produce very high tones during singing for not only untrained ordinary people but also even trained singers. To get high singing tones from the low tones, some trained singers used to use a distinguished singing technique, Passaggio (vocal register transition). The purpose of this study is to compare several voice parameters variation between when to sing with using the passaggio technique and to sing without using it. We selected 18 male singers (tenor 8, baritone 10), who had more than 7 years of experience and were well trained in passaggio technique. Simultaneous measurements of fundamental frequency (F0), mean flow rate (MFR), intensity (I), and subglottal pressure (Psub) were performed using the phonatory function analyzer (Nagashima). For the tenor, target tones /a/ were presented: 1) easy phonation: $B_{2}$, 2) high tone without passaggio: F$#_{3}$ 3) high tone with passaggio: F$#_{3}$. For the baritone, target tones /a/ were presented: 1) easy phonation: G$#_{3}$, 2) high tone without passaggio: D$#_{3}$, 3) high tone with passaggio: D$#_{3}$. F0 of the target tones between non-passaggio group and passaggio group was almost the same in both tenor and baritone groups. Intensity of the non-passaggio and passaggio vocalization was much louder than that of easy phonation and pasaggio was louder than non-passaggio vocalization (especially statistically significant in baritone singers). MFR of the passaggio vocalization was greater than non-passaggio vocalization in both tenor and baritone group, but statistically significant only in baritone. Psub of the passaggio vocalization was greater than that of the non-passaggio vocalization in both tenor and baritone group, but statistically not significant in tenor.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to systematically analyze and compare the acoustic characteristics of vocal major students with vocal nodule when singing. Materials and Methods : Ten sopranos with vocal nodule, who have never been treated due to voice problems, were the subject group. Twenty healthy sopranos major students were the control group for this study. The vocal nodule was confirmed by stroboscopy and the acoustic and electroglottographic analysis was conducted on be groups. Additionally, an inquiry on usual voice problems during speaking and singing were performed on each of the groups. Results : The vowel /a/ was spoken and sung by sopranos of each group. There were no significant differences in Fo, jitter, shimmer, NHR at speaking and singing in either group. We did not register any significant differences of closed quotient and speed quotient in electroglottography for both groups at singing, but speed quotient was increased in subject group at speaking(p＜0.05). And the sopranos with nodule demonstrated voice fatigue(70%), strained and tired voice after long period of performance and conversation(60%) on inquiry. Conclusions : Although they had a vocal nodule, this group, who had a long period of voice training, did not present any differences in acoustic and electroglottographic problems during short performance, but, the vocalists noticed delicate voice problems after a long performance. We conclude that the voice training teacher and laryngologist must initiate voice management and speech therapy for vocal nodule, even if there is no specific abnormality in acoustic analysis.

Background and Objective : Classical singing students who have received in systematic voice training appeared distinctive voice characteristics compared to normal people who have not received in systematic voice training. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between acoustic parameters and Electroglottography(EGG) parameters in two groups(ordinary college students vs. classical singing students group). Materials and Methods : The 80 ordinary college students and 65 classical singing students participated in this study by utilizing Dr. speech program to obtain acoustic measurements and physiologic measurements simultaneously. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to find the correlation between acoustic parameters and EGG parameters in two groups(ordinary college students group and classical singing students group). Results : The results of the study were as follows : First, there was no correlation between Jitter and EGG Jitter in ordinary college students group, but there was strong correlation between Jitter and EGG Jitter in classical singing students group. Second, there was no correlation between Shimmer and EGG Shimmer in ordinary college students group, but there was strong correlation between Shimmer and EGG Shimmer in classical singing students group. Third, there was no correlation between Harmonic to Noise Ratio(HNR) and EGG HNR in ordinary college students group, but there was strong correlation between HNR and EGG HNR in classical singing students group. Finally, there was no correlation between Normalized Noise Energy(NNE) and EGG NNE in two groups.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the Korean Singing Voice Handicap Index (K-SVHI) was suitable for singers in other genres than vocal music to assess their vocal problems subjectively. Twenty six college students majoring in vocal music and twenty six students majoring in applied music were included in the study. They were divided into G0 and G1 in voice quality using the GRBAS scale during the tasks of singing. K-SVHI was divided into three sub-areas (Physical, Functional, and Emotional). In the singing task, both groups showed no significant difference between K-SVHI scores by G scale. In the reading task, the vocal music group had significantly higher K-SVHI in G0 than in G1 in K-SVHIs by G scale, while the applied vocal music group had significantly higher K-SVHI in G1 than in G0. Also, the two groups were not significantly different in G0, G1 in the singing task while the vocal music group showed higher K-SVHI than the applied vocal music group in G0 in the reading task. In addition, the vocal music group had higher K-SVHI than the applied vocal music group in G1 in both tasks. As comparing by groups in three sub-areas of K-SVHI, significant differences were found in the Emotional and Functional area. Those results showed that singers felt their voice problems differently by musical genres, which means that K-SVHI may not be a proper tool for evaluating voice handicap of singers in diverse voice music genres.

This study examined the aerodynamic functions (mean airflow rate MFR, subglottal pressure Psub) and closed quotients (CQs) in the fixed pitch (C3, E3, G3, C4) with the variable loudness (70 and 80 dB) as well as in the fixed loudness at 70 dB and 80 dB with the variable pitch (C3, E3, G3, C4) in five classic male singers (Baritone). Results showed that MFR significantly increased at C3, E3, and G3 and Psub significantly increased at C4 when the loudness increased from 70 to 80 dB. At 70 dB, MFR and Psub significantly increased and CQ significantly decreased when the pitch increased from C3 to C4. At 80 dB, MFR significantly decreased when the pitch increased from C3 to G3. However, Psub showed the significant decrease with the pitch increased at 80 dB. In conclusion, as the loudness increases, the aerodynamic loss is getting higher and vocal efficiency becomes lower at low pitch than at higher pitch. At a low loudness level, the main mechanism to control loudness is the amount of medial compression of the vocal folds rather than the aerodynamic function. In addition, the aerodynamic function and medial compression of the vocal folds have a significant role in increasing the loudness level.

본 연구는 오늘날 전승되는 살풀이춤이 20세기 전반기를 거쳐 온 것임에도 특정 류파 연구에 치중되어 있는 현행 연구 경향에 문제의식을 느끼면서 시작되었다. 20세기 전반기에 전개된 살풀이춤의 전승 양상을 살필 수 있는 자료는 1930년대 이전과 이후로 나누어 볼 수 있는데, 전자의 자료는 매우 미약하지만 후자는 국가 차원에서 전국적으로 조사된 보고서 형태의 자료이기에 전승 양상을 파악하는데 있어 일정하게 신뢰를 줄 수 있는 자료라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 1930년대 이전 자료가 미흡하지만 미약하나마 당대의 현상을 말해주는 사료적 가치를 지니기에 최대한 여러 사회문화적 정황에 비추어 분석하고자 했으며, 조사보고서의 조사 실태를 통해 1930년대 이후의 상황도 파악하고자 했다.

태곳적부터 동굴은 인간의 주거 공간뿐만 아니라 문화공간으로까지 활용되어 왔다. 즉 동굴 내부의 어떤 장소에서 소리를 낼 경우 거기서 나오는 소리는 특별히 확대되어 거대한 메가폰처럼 작동하여 들려온다. 이른바 공명현상이다. 이럴 때 동굴 전체는 하나의 거대한 관악기의 기능을 수행하는 것처럼 보이기도 한다. 특히 알타미라 동굴처럼 벽화가 발견 되는 동굴의 경우, 대개가 벽화가 발견되는 지점이 광장과 같은 넓은 공간이란 점과 종종 매머드 뼈로 된 피리나 북 등이 동시에 발견되는 것에 주목할 필요가 있다. 결국 그곳 동굴 속에서 선사인들이 주술의식과 더불어 예술 활동을 펼쳐왔음을 미루어 짐작할 수 있다. 한편 한국 전통예술 가운데 대표적 성악장르의 하나인 판소리의 경우 그 노래를 부르는 가창자의 창법수련 장소로 동굴의 활용된 예도 있다. 이른바 토굴독공(土窟獨功)이라 불리는 것이 바로 그러한데, 이는 폭포독공(瀑布獨功)과 더불어 명창이 되기 위한 창법수련자가 마지막으로 수행하는 과정으로서 흡사 철기류 제작의 마지막 담금질과 같은 공정(工程) 과정이기도 하다. 이는 이미 한국의 전통예술가들이 오래 전부터 자연 속에서 자연과 부합하는 소리감각을 터득하기 위한 선례이기도 하다. 이런 점에 주목하여 필자는 대학에서 학생들에게 성악수업 지도를 맡으며 늘 이런 생각을 지니게 되었다. 즉 "자연스런 소리내기는 동굴과 같은 자연 공간속에서 자연스럽게 체득된다!" 그래서 지난 1992년 1월, 필자는 제자들과 함께 동굴소리연구회란 일종의 동호인 모임을 결성하여 특히 방학 때와 같은 휴가철을 이용해 제주 전역의 동굴을 답사하며 동굴 탐사와 더불어 소리 탐구를 실험적으로 시도해 왔다. 그 후 5년 뒤인 1997년 9월, 마침내 우도의 해식동굴인 고래콧구멍 동굴(東岸鯨窟)에서 국내에서 첫 동굴음악회를 개최했다. 그 후 매년 한 차례 씩 동굴음악회를 개최해 왔다. 올해, 2009년까지 총 14회 째의 동굴음악회를 개최한 기록 가운데, 강원도 석회암동굴에서 2회, 용암 동굴인 만장굴에서 2회, 우도의 해식동굴 고래콧구멍에서 총 10회의 기록이 그것이다. 아울러 1999년 5월 협재동굴에서 필자는 동굴음악CD제작을 위해 녹음작업을 특별히 펼치기도 했다. 이 글은 필자가 그동안 동굴을 음악회장으로 이용한 경험을 바탕을 주요 소재로 활용하여 구성하였다. 앞으로 제주에서 해마다 개최되는 동굴음악회는 제주를 찾는 관광객들에게 매우 독특한 체험이벤트로서 제주의 우수한 자연공간과 또한 동굴만이 지닌 우수한 자연음향의 효과를 만끽할 수 있는 기회를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.
