Abstract
The relationship of the efficiency of pulmonary function to the singing voice was studied at a school for vocal training. The class in training was evaluated primarily by the period of time spent in studies of the individual groups under observation and then compared to professional singers. The residual pulmonary volumes were determined to be of highest importance in this assessment. This study then was correlated to experience with situations in which impairment of this pulmonary volume measurement existed, such as pulmonary asthma. The group of asthmatics in the singing profession was higher than that encountered in the average population group. The importance of these findings is primarily for the understanding of the physiology of the singing voice.
