The Effectiveness of Innovative Technologies to Manage Vocal Training: The Knowledge of Breathing Physiology and Conscious Control in Singing

The beauty of the sound is not only due to advanced singing voice but also depends on breathing techniques. This paper aims to study knowledge about the physiology of breathing and singing, including the effectiveness of conscious control in vocal training and innovative technologies. The authors used observation methods to achieve this goal. They developed mechanisms to set breathing that promote singing using modern technology. As a result, the authors identified the following indicators: body coordination, diaphragmatic respiratory training, inhalation and exhalation training, mixed respiratory training, as well as coordination of the vocal apparatus. Videos, Sing Sharp, Prana Breath, Erol Singer's Studio, and SwiftScales served as tools to provide instruction. The results showed that body coordination and mixed respiratory training significantly influence the sound's naturalness. The singing purity results from body coordination and the vocal apparatus. The study involved two groups of students: Group 1 included vocalists who studied according to the proposed technique; Group 2 united amateur performers. A specific efficiency and quality of singing characterized the performance of the students from Group 1 when playing folk (83%) and popular compositions (77%). The results showed that the students of Group 2 generally received average scores for the performance of folk (54%) and popular (53%) compositions. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of developing a singing voice with the help of breathing and modern technology.
