“…In spite of their relatively low level of knowledge, professional singers recognized that possessing knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the singing voiceis a pre-requisite for achieving good performance inlyrical singing. This is in agreement with Sielska et al 17 , who concluded that, for singers, this knowledge is essential forimproving their singing performance.…”

Purpose: the knowledge concerning care of the voice on the part of professional and amateur singers in Chile is relevant for voice professionals and also for speech pathologists who work in disorder prevention and voice care. It is important to know if there are differences between both groups regarding the knowledge of voice care. Methods: the "Vocal Awareness Questionnaire for Singers'' was applied to a sample of 66 singers: 33 professional and 33 amateur singers. Three areas of knowledge were evaluated: anatomy and physiology of the larynx, vocal hygiene and voice pathologies. Results: there were no significant differences in the knowledge of voice care between professional and amateur singers both at a general level and in specific areas of knowledge. The topic of vocal hygiene obtained the highest percentage of correct answers in both groups, while the lowest percentage was in the area of voice pathologies. Conclusions: there were no differences in the level of knowledge on voice care between the professional and amateur singers included in this study. In both groups, the level of knowledge was from low to moderate. This could increase the incidence of vocal pathologies in both groups.

“…2 Still, classically trained singers recently reported that their knowledge level of the vocal tract's anatomy and physiology as weak or inadequate. 15 Around half of the choir singers in the present study estimated that they had basic knowledge in the field of voice anatomy and physiology, and voice ergonomics. In an earlier study, the perceived knowledge level for amateur singers was similar; 49% indicated basic or thorough understanding about voice anatomy and physiology, and 61% about care of the vocal mechanism.…”

“…Similarly to the results of earlier studies, the high number of incorrect and "I don't know"answers suggests that many choir singers lack even basic voice knowledge. 2,15 In this sample, women scored significantly higher on the knowledge-based questions than men did, which would indicate that women have a greater knowledge of the voice. The knowledge was also higher among younger choir singers than older.…”

“…7 The knowledge about the anatomy and physiology of the vocal tract seem to be limited at least among classically trained singers. 15 A few studies have investigated singers or choir singers in terms of education in voice ergonomics and vocal hygiene. 11,16,17 The results from several studies suggest that education in voice ergonomics could improve vocal behaviors.…”

“…This convergence of sensations among the singers indicates a common axis of respiratory support in the emission of upper high notes and, indeed, in all vocal emission (18) . Although some authors do consider the classiacl singer not capable of describing his or her physical sensations during singing (19) , the sopranos in their self-report referred to concrete elements during the emission of upper high notes. These comparisons do not converge to a pattern of sensations during the emission of upper high notes, which demonstrates that vocal production is greatly influenced by the singer's individuality.…”

RESUMO Objetivo Descrever a emissão de superagudos em sopranos profissionais por meio da avaliação perceptivo-auditiva da voz e do autorrelato das cantoras. Método Cinco sopranos profissionais executaram o trecho de uma ópera de Bellini no qual havia a emissão de uma nota superaguda. A avaliação perceptivo-auditiva foi realizada por seis avaliadores (três fonoaudiólogos e três professores de canto) que consideraram brilho, loudness, metal, vibrato, soprosidade e ressonância em uma escala visual-analítica, tendo como base a emissão aguda de cada uma das cantoras. Após a gravação, as cantoras responderam a um questionário proprioceptivo sobre as sensações físicas durante a produção dos superagudos. Foi realizada uma análise inferencial dos dados da avaliação perceptivo-auditiva e transcrição ortográfica resumida do autorrelato das cantoras. Resultados Na análise perceptivo-auditiva, a emissão superaguda foi caracterizada por presença de brilho, loudness, metal, vibrato e ressonância anteriorizada percebida por fonoaudiólogos e professores de canto. No relato proprioceptivo, todas as cantoras referiram elevação de laringe e necessidade de utilização do apoio respiratório para emitir a nota superaguda. Conclusão Os superagudos foram caracterizados por uma emissão vocal brilhante, loudness aumentada, metálica, com vibrato, com pouca ou nenhuma soprosidade, com sensação de elevação da laringe e necessidade de apoio respiratório.
