Abstract

“Vocalness”, which indicates correctness of vocalization of singing voice used in western classical opera and lied, is defined in terms of relative intensity of the singing formant. An advantage of vocalness is that its measurement is scarcely affected by the vibrato, inherent in the singing voice. As a result of vocalness measurement for sustained vowel /ah/ sung by 21 female singers, no significant difference was found between the two groups of (A) professional singers, and (B) students of voice and trained chorus singers, whereas a marked difference was found between these groups and the group of beginning amateur chorus singers (C). Thus vocalness is expected to be a helpful measure for the vocalization training of beginners.
