How do opera singers develop the ability to embody a role?

关于歌剧的研究主要集中在声乐教学上，而对歌唱者角色体现技能的本质和发展却知之甚少。在这项研究中，RE指的是：歌手对某个角色的声乐指挥与诠释和编排要求的结合，以及他们在管理表演需求的同时需要提炼耐力和注意力的能力。演唱过程的多面性还要求演唱者具备良好的能力，特别是在自我概念和自主性方面。从历史上看，公司内的指导使歌手能够吸收指导RE能力的必要技能，而不需要清楚地表达或框定这些知识。然而，这种指导模式的衰落与过去25年来机构培训的增加不谋而合。为此，目前对英国全行业关于培训方法的反应的分析主张，在新兴人才中加强艺术自主的发展。因此，这个项目有两个目标：了解歌剧角色化身中使用的艺术技能，以及确定这些技能是如何在新兴歌手身上发展的。第一项研究利用对精英歌手和艺术人员的投入的定性分析，将形成一个关于RE技能的概念框架。第二个将调查这些是如何发展起来的，重点是歌手在关键过渡阶段的经历。项目成果将为资源的开发提供信息。

Much opera research focuses on vocal pedagogy, however little is known about the nature and development of abilities around singers' role embodiment skills (RE). For this study RE refers to: the integration of singers' vocal command of a role with interpretative and choreographic requirements, and their need to refine stamina and concentration abilities while managing performance demands. The multi-faceted nature of RE processing additionally requires well-developed competencies from the singer, particularly in terms of self-concept and autonomy. Historically, in-company mentoring has enabled singers to absorb the requisite skills guiding RE abilities, without the need for articulating or framing this knowledge. However, a decline in this mentoring mode has coincided with increased institutional training over the last 25 years. To this end, current analysis of UK industry-wide responses regarding training approaches advocates for increased development of artistic autonomy in emerging talent. Therefore this project has two-fold aims: understanding the artistic skill-sets used in operatic role embodiment, and identifying how these develop in emerging singers. Using qualitative analysis of input from elite singer and artistic personnel, the first study will develop a conceptual framework of RE skills. A second will investigate how these are developed, focussing on singer-experiences in key transitional stages. The project outcomes will inform development of resources.
