This study was conducted on 27 male students majoring in or preparing for popular music vocals to determine whether they were aware of their voice classification and vocal range. Additionally, differences in the fundamental frequency and average speaking fundamental frequency were compared among the voice classifications. Moreover, considering that they may differ in their ability to produce high frequencies depending on the vowel, differences in voice ranges among the cardinal vowels, /a/, /i/, and /u/, were examined, and differences in voice ranges between vowels were compared by voice classification. The results showed that more than half of the male students majoring in or preparing for popular music vocals were not accurately aware of their voice types. In addition, statistically significant differences were found in the maximum fundamental frequency and frequency range among vowels, indicating differences in the voice range that can be produced depending on the vowel type. In particular, the voice range decreased in the following order: /a/>/u/>/i/. This suggests that while the vowel /a/ is easier to articulate in the high register compared to other vowels, vowels /u/ and /i/ as high vowels involve narrowing of the oral cavity due to the raised position of the tongue, accompanied by raising of the larynx, resulting in a decrease in voice range and difficulty in vocalizing in the high register.

일반적으로 가창을 위한 호흡법으로는 두 가지를 들 수 있다. 가슴의 횡격막 부분을 사용하는 복식호흡법과 배꼽 밑 부분의 아랫배를 활용한 단전호흡법으로 나눌 수 있다. 일반적으로 윗배를 사용하는 복식 호흡법의 경우 주로 성악 발성에서 사용 하였으며, 아랫배를 활용한 단전호흡법의 경우 창이나 판소리 등의 국악 창법에 많이 사용되었다. 상대적으로 역사가 짧은 대중음악의 경우는 특정한 호흡법이 없고 누구에게 배웠느냐에 따라 호흡하는 방법이 결정되었다. 그러나 매스미디어가 발전함에 따라 대중음악 분야도 발전하게 되었고, 대중가요 가수들을 위한 독창적인 호흡법도 절실히 필요하게 되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 가창력을 증진 시킬 수 있는 효과적인 호흡법을 제시해 보고자 한다.
