Abstract

Vocal music is defined as music that uses and emphasizes the human voice. The voice serves as the primary instrument, while other instruments are also used. The difficulties of singing, such as tension in the jaw or throat, difficulty supporting one's breath, or just not understanding how to use the body's resonance areas to improve the sound. The study aimed to analyze the vocal behavior among vocal music-learning students. A total of 175 music students participated in this study. The computer-based voice evaluation systems are made up of the equipment used to track vocal behavior. Using SPSS software, the statistical mean profile produced by testing voice devices was used in statistical comparisons. This study examined the relationship between the voice onset time (VOT), sound pressure level (SPL), noise-to-harmonic ratio (NHR), shimmer, voice turbulence index (VTI), relative average perturbation (RAP), and vocal tract length (VTL) and the acoustic and airborne changes that might be connected to the consequences of student vocalists cumulative vocal requirements. Key findings about vocal behavior among students studying vocal music were made by the evaluation. The results indicate that there were no statistically significant changes found when student singers' vocal factors were compared and monitored frequently over an extended period. For educators creating curricula, practicing vocal music educators, and learners themselves, this comprehensive evaluation offers insightful information.
