Acoustic Analysis of the Influence of Warm-Up on Singing Voice Quality

This article presents the results of research at the frontier of computer signal analysis, music, and medicine and analyzes the influence of vocal warm-ups on singing voice quality. According to the literature, it is assumed that a well-performed warm-up should have a positive effect on the parameters of the singing voice. The goal of the study was to find dependencies between the warm-up and the singing voice quality. The analysis was performed on samples obtained from choral singers. To analyze the influence of the warm-up on the singing voice quality, selected acoustic analysis parameters were calculated for the recorded samples. The analysis of the results for selected parameters showed that warming up of the singing voice can have a positive effect.
