Outline of Final Research Achievements

Singers cannot look at their own organs responsible for singing. Based on the interviews for singers, the diaphragm was identified as one of the important organs for singing techniques. The motions of the diaphragm were visualized by real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and acoustic analyses were performed. In our cases, MRI movies of the professional singers, compared with those of beginners, indicated more controlled diaphragm motions, which reflected their own subjective descriptions of physical perception during singing. The shapes of the vocal tract and the tongue as well as stable vibratos also suggested professional singing techniques. The MRI motion imaging techniques and its analyses that we proposed in this study may be one of the useful methods to elucidate singing techniques.
