Description

Poster from 20th International Congress of the Phonetic Sciences; Prague, Czech Republic,  August 7-11, 2023.

In classical singing the intelligibility of the sung text is often less clear than in speaking. In singing, it is the vowels that mainly determine the general sonority of the voice, while to secure text intelligibility a much greater functional load is on consonants. Some voice teachers claim that consonants in singing should be pronounced with exaggerated power, while others have stated that singers, on the contrary, should avoid this.
