Abstract

Vocal music is an art that combines music and language which is the foundation of vocal music. From the subjective hearing point of view, people generally think that the sound position of Bel Canto is backward, and the sound is produced through nasal resonance. The timbre is relatively dim. People usually use their throats to vocalize rather than the nasal cavity, chest cavity or even head cavity to resonate, making a thick loud and penetrating sound. This paper used the method of experimental research, which asked several professional student studying bel canto using two types of pronouncement method to show the differences of the performances of resonance and non-resonance of vowels in Bel Canto. Besides, this paper used praat which is an audio analysis software to analyze the formants of different causes and drew the following conclusions: firstly, because vowels are in Bel Canto. When singing, there will be a back movement of the resonance point; secondly, at the same pitch, the pronunciation of the back vowel is clearer than the pronunciation of the front vowel.
