Aquecimento vocal em cantores: revisão de literatura

Abstract

Objective: To raise the vocal warm-up programs performed by singers. Method: This study is a bibliographical research, which analyzed Brazilian and international publications in search engines: academics, books, master's dissertations and articles and periodicals within the field of Speech Therapy, Singing and Medicine on vocal warm-up performed in singers, selecting the works published between the years 2012 and 2021. Results: It was identified that the researches have different analyzes and approaches, allowing the identification of some categories of vocal warm-up techniques. It is observed that most of the vocal warm-up proposals carried out by the researchers are with Semi-occluded Vocal Tract Exercises (SOVTE). Conclusion: It was found that the vocal warm-up should always accompany the singing professional before their presentations, contributing directly to the improvement of vocal acoustic parameters, for immediate improvement of vocal quality, improvement in vibrato quality, vocal flexibility, self-perceived positive effect, fatigue resistance, vocal economy and decreased effort/singing ratio. These results can directly contribute to injury prevention. Keywords: vocal warm-up, singers, professional voice, speech therapy.
