This pilot study presented evidence which suggested
that the expertise of the auditor may be an important factor
in intelligibility of vowel sounds in singing. The voice
teachers who made up the expert group of auditors had many
years of experience in singing and in teaching singing,
which could make them more aware of what to expect of
singers when they are singing in the difficult high pitch
range. The amateur group, on the other hand, would not be
familiar with the practices of singers when singing vowel
sounds.
The pilot study, while not being a complete investi-
gation, addressed the issue of intelligibility in singing.
From this research project insights have been drawn which
allowed more complete study to be conducted in the area of
intelligibility in singing and into the possible effect that
an auditor's experience may have on the results. It was
evident from problems encountered with the pilot study,
that some procedures and variables could be altered to
avoid difficulties in the control and compilation of the
data which would improve an expanded new investigation.
