Presentation Transcript

  1. The vocal score profile/vocal range profile rate and APM in artistic voice evaluation: application tested on opera and musical singersAn evaluation of voice suitability and vocal fatigue Dr. Nico Paolo Paolillo ENT dep. Mandic Hospital - Milan Phonitatrician Teatro alla Scala of Milan Dr Franco Fussi Phoniatric Centre of Ravenna Phoniatrician Teatro Comunale of Bologna

  2. Vocal fatigue and glottal damage risks • Wrong repertoire • Inadequate technical qualities • Inadequate work planning • Phonatory behaviour (total phonation time during rehearsals, performances, break-times, teaching, private life etc.) • Lifestyle • Working environment • It’s necessary to calculate the right vocal cost Dr. Nico Paolo Paolillo – Dr. Franco Fussi

  3. WATH THE SINGERS FEEL ABOUT CHARACTER FEATURES • Interview before analysis  Assessing accordance between subjective feeling and objective analysis • Interview after analysis  Assessing the reliability of a predictive evaluation • Relationship between the patient's medical history (any vocal desease or phonosurgery) and results of the analysis Dr. Nico Paolo Paolillo – Dr. Franco Fussi

  4. VOCAL SCORE PROFILE COUNT OF NOTES FOR EACH SEMITONE statistic method for vocal score (partitura) semeiotic High Notes Passage Notes Middle Notes Low Notes

  5. Through this kind of analysis different parameters can be detected Comparison regarding ranges percentage

  6. VOCAL SCORE PROFILEHighlights the vocal role various musical features through histogram graphics

  7. VOICE RANGE PROFILE (VRP) VRP points out dynamic and frequency range of singers voice Passage

  8. DYNAMIC AGILITY CURVE Dynamic Agility is the value of differential between forte and piano calculated for each tone. Passage

  9. COMPARATIVE EVALUATION VOCAL SCORE PROFILE VS DYNAMIC AGILITY CURVE(P/P rate  Pariturogram/Phonetogram rate) Passage

  10. Passage Donna Anna 1st Act Donna Anna 2nd Act Passage

  11. Donna Elvirafrom“Don Giovanni”W.A. Mozart–Full Score Passage

  12. P/P Rate is a reliable method to identify a right repertoire and to predict performance risks for vocal effort or glottal damage • In low and high ranges a gradual dynamic agility reduction is acceptable (not for coloraturas  restricted range of dynamic all range long) • In low female voices it’s necessary always to evaluate both vocal registers passages. • Accordance between subjective singers’ feeling and objective analysis • Possibility and reliability of a predictive evaluation • Relationship between the patient's medical history, like any vocal desease (even if unknown) or phonosurgery, and analysis results. Dr. Nico Paolo Paolillo – Dr. Franco Fussi

  13. Singer with unsuited dynamic agility to a specific role Can all the same excel in performing it HIGHER VOCAL COST Dr. Nico Paolo Paolillo – Dr. Franco Fussi

  14. Vocal Dosimetry in Teatro alla Scala in Opera soloist singers and in Musical soloist singers Dr. Nico Paolo Paolillo – Teatro alla Scala in Milan Dr. Franco Fussi – teatro Comunale in Bologna

  15. APM during live performances on stage (Model 3200 APM) • Phonatory behaviours before, during and after performances • Absolute index for vocal fatigue or vocal recovery??? • Possible fatigue threshold vs recovery threshold??? Dr. Nico Paolo Paolillo – Dr. Franco Fussi

  16. Preliminary Evaluation • Anamnesis • Tonal audiometry • Videolaryngostroboscopy • What singers feel about character features (fatiguing and resting moments) Dr. Nico Paolo Paolillo – Dr. Franco Fussi

  17. “Aida” vs “I due Foscari” tenor roleat Teatro alla Scala in Milan Dr. Nico Paolo Paolillo – Dr. Franco Fussi

  18. Radames – 1st Tenor – Complete Performance

  19. Aria “CELESTE AIDA” – 1st Act

  20. Break between 2nd and 3rd Act + non singing part during beginning of 3rd Act Speech and soft fonation

  21. Jacopo Foscari – 2nd Tenor – Warm-up

  22. “Brezza del suol natio… Dal più remoto esilio”Aria + Cabaletta – 1st Act

  23. RADAMES BEHAVIOURAL HABITS AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT JACOPO FOSCARI

  24. RADAMES SUCH AS A “REAL” VOCAL SCORE PROFILE JACOPO FOSCARI

  25. Radames 1st Act Jacopo Foscari 1st Act

  26. RADAMES SUCH AS AN “ON STAGE” RELATIVE DINAMIC AGILITY JACOPO FOSCARI

  27. 1st tenor - RADAMES VOCAL, TECHNICAL AND BEHAVIOURAL FEATURES Speech and soft fonation 2nd tenor - JACOPO FOSCARI Speech and soft fonation T. Carroll, M. Abaza et al. – 2006

  28. Difficulties • APM size VS acting, dancing and costumes • Singers’ helpfulness • Calibration in singers who use both classical and modern technique • Not much literature on APM in singers Dr. Nico Paolo Paolillo – Dr. Franco Fussi

  29. Liric soloist singer Greater likelihood of damage from acute fatigue Musical soloist singers Greater likelihood of damage from chronic fatigue 2-3 performances a week + rehearsals (total sung phonation time less than5 hours a week) 8-9 performances a week + rehearsals + often hard bodily fatigue in dancers (total sung phonation time more than 10 hours a week) Total Phonation Time a Week Dr. Nico Paolo Paolillo – Dr. Franco Fussi

  30. Future APM improvement • Hard Wearability • Discomfort • Higher availability of numeric data from APM • Possibility to “reshape” recorded data (cut, paste, copy etc.) • Technical and behavioural measures • Fatigue and damage risk reduction • Do technique and voice features influence dose parameters???  the same role from different singers • More studies to establish standard fatigue and recovery thresholds and ranges (differences between males and females and between different vocal classes???)  Recovery index???
