Abstract
In Korea, the trot began shaping its own style in the 1960s. Then, later in the 1970s, it became more specialized having four-fourths beat rhythm of fox-trot, and the Korean style has been finally established with a strong beat and a unique chopping technique. Although there are many trot singers in Korea, the singer Bae Ho was very special in using the heavy bass accompaniment which was later frequently used by other pop singers. The singing voice of Bae Ho gives us the feeling of special softness and appealingness. In addition, his vocalization features the addition of a deep vibe to the song, so that the listeners feel sympathetic and comfortable. This study compares the singing voice of Bae Ho to that of his mimic singers by examining acoustic characteristics of their voices including amplitude, frequency and duration. The acoustic analysis proved that the singing voice of Bae Ho is clearer and has longer duration of vibration in the bass section than that of mimic singers. Bae Ho has a natural talent in expressing the bass part as well as in the midrange part without changing the tone of his voice, while the mimic singers reveal many unnatural connections between measures.
