Description
Summary:Vocal training is a specialist, multidisciplinary subject area that helps individuals to develop the behaviours and skills to utilise their voices effectively, properly and pleasantly based on abstract narration. Vocal trainers use abstract concepts in order to make corrective interventions during vocal training, and aim to create associations through imagery. This qualitative study aims to examine the impact of virtual reality on the use of vocals in the vocal training of music students at a Fine Arts Faculty, and their virtual reality experiences. The primary data of the study were collected via semi-structured interviews from eight students, and the secondary data were gathered from three voice trainers. Result of the study indicated that a more natural control of breathing was possible, resonance gaps were opened up, voice was produced at an upper level with vibrato in a more comfortable and easier way, and students produced a more powerful voice.
