ABSTRACT

The present study aims to identify the anatomical functional changes of the buccopharyngeal space in case of singers with canto voice. The interest in this field is particularly important in view of the relation between the artistic performance level, phoniatry and functional anatomy, as the voice formation mechanism is not completely known yet. We conducted a morphometric study on three soprano voices that differ in type and training level. The anatomical soft structures from the superior vocal formant of each soprano were measured on images captured using the Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) technique. The results obtained, as well as the 3D reconstructions emphasize the particularities of the individual morphological features, especially in case of the experienced soprano soloist, which are found to be different for each anatomical soft structure, as well as for their integrity. The experimental results are encouraging and suggest further development of this study on soprano voices and also on other types of opera voices.

ABSTRACT

Speaking is one of the characteristics of the human race and the main factor that has marked our progress over time. The singing voice is the crowning of the speech act and the main component of the lyrical manifestation of personality. Doctors in various fields, but especially anatomists have been concerned about discovering how the voice and the substrate of its variability are formed, but these aspects have not yet been fully deciphered. This study is the starting point in our research on the phonation system, organized on three levels: laryngeal, oral, palatinal, pharyngeal, epiglottal and nasal. We performed the dissection of seven embalmed anatomical parts, on which, we made measurements of the anatomical elements involved in the phonation. We performed the same measurements on a batch of seven adults investigated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The results were entered into the statistical calculation formulas and compared with each other and with the literature. The results of the study show that certain values resulting from the calculation formulas remain constant and others vary greatly from each individuals and gender.
