It is widely accepted among singers and voice trainers that singing in the same manner for opening throat like yawn may result in increasing the resonance and thus allow singers to express the content of music in detail. We carried out an experiment to investigate whether the practice is effective in improving vocal skills. We employed a female singer, whose repertoire is mostly consisted of classical music, and asked her to adopt the particular way of singing. We measured its effect in two aspects:1) Objectively, we measured the vibration of her body while she was singing using a laser interferometer, an innovative optical sensing technology, and 2) Inter-subjectively, we measured how listeners perceived the content of music composition with a questionnaire. As the result, we found the technique to be effective in increasing the resonance of the voice by opening the cavity of larynx and pharynx. The FFT analysis of the vibration revealed that the spectrum values around high tones(750-800Hz) were distinctively high when she opened the cavity of larynx and pharynx, compared to the ones when she did not adopt such a technique. We examined how thirty listeners perceived the content of a song by adopting the Music appreciation evaluation experiment (Mood Adjective Check List) to observe its effects as we expected. We conclude that the singing, in which the throat opens like yawn, resulted in increasing the resonance of voice. We believe that our finding will help singers to improve his or her vocal-skill in musically meaningful ways.
