Abstract

Vocal music has had an important place in human life since the early ages and constitutes one of the important dimensions of musical content. Sensation is the result of the action of some organs and therefore it is important to know which organs work according to these senses. Singing takes place on three planes. These are: breathing, the larynx containing the vocal cords and the resonators or sinus cavities where the sound resonates. People sing and speak with this wonderful instrument in our body. These limbs that we use during singing work as a virtuoso mechanism. In order to prevent this mechanism from deforming at an early age, necessary precautions should be taken on how to use it consciously.
The vocal technique required for the emission of artistic sound can be defined as the conscious use of any factors that require sound emission. These emissions start with the use of the lungs as an energy source and continue with the responsibility of respiration for the intensity -volume- of the sound. The larynx, which is the source of sound, consists of the following mechanisms; phonation, is responsible for the pitch -frequency- of the sound. The human voice is more than an extension of the pure mechanics of voice and speech. To become a vital vocal life, voice and speech must be intrinsically intertwined with the physical and emotional energies that shape our individuality. Far from being an isolated function, vocal life represents a combination of the synergistic energies involved in vocal and verbal communication. Vocal life is the use of the developed voice to express and convey every nuance of emotion and intent. Ultimately, it is the expression of our individual personal culture.
This article will cover the factors that make up voice formation and the studies that can be done based on correct singing techniques.
