1 INTRODUCTION This thesis is towards discovering the factors responsible for a good voice. Good music is created when Voice produces the sound at the correct pitch, accurate frequency and with good quality. Voice culture is the science of perfecting and using one's voice effectively, It is also called science of the human voice. Voice is also an instrument for a vocalist to communicate his musical ideas. It has to be kept finely tuned. And Voice Training and Voice Culture helps to improve its quality, its power and endurance. Voice is the only instrument that can be cultivated, improved and cultured, by variation of pitch, intensity and timbre (tonal quality) In Sangeeta Ratnakar sarira 1 is a term which refers to a gifted voice without any regular practice. Sareera is a natural voice. The Voice training method turns the gifted natural instrument into an exquisite and melodious Vadhyam or instrument. Sanskrit Sholok : Vidhyadanena tapasa bhaktiya va parvatipateh Prabhuta bagyavibhavah susariram avaptate 2 (Sangeet Ratnakar) Voice is an only instrument that can be cultivated, improved and cultured by variation of pitch, intensity and timbre (tonal quality).indian Classical Music is based on spirituality. For a vocalist of Indian Classical Music Voice is to sing the glory of God. Any determined effort focused towards attaining perfection is called Sadhana. A vocalist has to exercise and make the vocal 1 VOICE CULTURE-S A K Durga,pg no VOICE CULTURE-S A K Durga,pg no 144 i
2 cord music worthy towards attaining perfection and is called Kantha Sadhana. In Western Music it is called Voice-Culture. Indian Classical Music is always connected with spirituality, When a vocalist of Indian Classical Music sings in correct tone, the whole environment becomes spiritual and soothing. It seems to pour forth freely from the Heart spontaneously. There is no evidence of calculation, of carefully directed effort, of attention to the workings of the voice, in the tones of a perfect singer. All the Teachers and Authorities of Voice Culture believe that this manner of handling the voice must be acquired by every student of singing or vocal music, in course of carefully directed study. This training in the use of Voice is the most important feature of education in Vocal Music or singing. Voice Culture embraces the correct management of the vocal organs. Vocal training has indeed come to be considered synonymous with training in the correct use of the Voice. Every method of instruction in singing must contain as its most important element some means for dealing with the problem of tone-production. In Indian Classical music both Hindustani and Carnatic, the teaching of Voice production has been purely on empirical basis so far, relying on the pernicious system of trial and error, with the result that this branch has been exposed to more charlatanism. 3 A proper understanding of the structure and foundation of the physiological mechanism, acoustical principles of voice emission and psychological factors of the individual help to deduce scientific facts which would guide through the tangle of confusion which has beset the art of Voice Culture. 3 S A K Durga -VOICE CULTURE, with special reference to South Indian Music pg no1 ii
3 Voice training has become imperative in the current scenario, it helps Voice flexibility and ensures Control of Breath, Uniformity in voice, Clarity in voice, Articulation, Resonance, Vocal range. Scientific and the medical aspect of voice culture is to maintain Voice hygiene and preserve the voice from voice disorder. There are difference between musical knowledge and presenting that musical knowledge by impressive singing. In the past many musicians ignored the importance of a melodies voice, they gave importance to the knowledge of the music and the different techniques of music. Although the classical system of music has been enriched with many exercises to develop the skill of singing, a comprehensive study of all the scientific aspects related to voice cultivation and also the practice of technically developed exercises will help the singers to analyze the own voice and to manipulate the vocal apparatus for the perfect voice modulation. Here there is a very important fact that an effective and impressive voice is a must for singers to succeed. That s why Voice Culture is becoming very important for a singer, one interesting thing is that it is helpful for other professionals also like Public Speaker, Actor, Teacher whoever is related with impressive voice. As a concept, an ideal voice differ according to the System of Music, Western music is based on Harmony, Indian music is based on Melody, Carnatic music has its own unique style, In Hindustani music every Gharana s voice training is different. Soft singing is necessary in film music. But the best voice is which is most flexible. Voice training has become imperative in the current scenario, it helps Voice flexibility and ensures Control of Breath, Uniformity in voice, Clarity in voice, Articulation, Resonance and Vocal range. Scientific and the medical aspect of voice culture is to maintain Voice hygiene and iii
4 preserve the Voice from Voice disorder. This research aims at to find out the different methods to improve the quality of voice. OBJECTIVE OF THE THESIS The thesis revisits the key concepts the of Voice Culture Methods based on different methods of Voice training in Hindustani Classical Music, addressing these methods as suggestive form. In doing so, the thesis aims to explore the possibilities of further integrating patterns of voice training in Hindustani Vocal Forms so as to enhance performance experiences. The thesis also investigates how different vocal style training affect both the singer and the presentation of singing style. The thesis therefore emphasizes on design as an important component to investigate how the correct voice training methods can be enhanced. It is conceived as a metaphor that develops ideas in Hindustani Classical music and how it then creates other possibilities of training the voice. Voice culture is an advanced stage of voice training. A proper understanding of the structure and foundation of the physiological mechanism, acoustical principles of voice emission and psychological factors of the individual help to deduce scientific facts which would guide through the tangle of confusion which has beset the art of voice culture. Since voice is the result of the proper use of certain muscles of the body, an elementary knowledge of the structure and function of these muscles is almost indispensable for voice cultivation. The concept of voice culture and care has gained a lot of significance in recent time. Today a good voice is not only restricted to classical music, a good voice can be use in other professions like radio jockeying, jingles, voiceovers and last but not the least in the iv
5 teaching professions as well. With more and more people taking on such professions, the need for a good cultured voice has become very essential. I found it very interesting subject for research this inspired me to choose the subject Method to improve the voice quality through voice culture for my P.HD program. As a vocal music student, I was always interested in voice production and voice related subject. As a vocal music teacher, to teach music students and to give them new ideas and information about voice. I have selected this topic for research because I felt there was a need for the documentation of the traditional and science of voice production together to train the voice for Hindustani classical music. As the researcher, I did not have any science background, this study will help develop inquisitiveness towards the science of voice production in singing. A study to establish the techniques to improve the voice quality through traditional and scientific aspect of voice training. To document the knowledge and use of science of voice production in the vocalist s voice. The main aim of the study is to introduce scientific aspect of voice culture with the traditional method to help the vocalist to sing well and preserve voice from disorders. To study whether New Techniques of voice culture helps to train the voice for singing different forms of Hindustani Classical Music. Although Indian classical music has been enriched with many exercises to develop the skill of singing, but voice culture is about to analyze the voice by scientific aspect v

In the Second Chapter the use of voice in ancient Indian text has been described. a) The treatment of voice has been described in our ancient texts. b) The science of voice production can be traced from the four Vedas. vi
7 It is said that the origin of Indian music lies in chanting of the mantra of SamaVeda. c) In ancient time the singer s voice is denoted by the term Sarira It has been defined as that which can bring out the beauties of a Raga without undergoing any training and has come out with the body is Sarira. Sarandeva has mentioned this in Sangita Ratnakar. d) Nada Yoga Indian culture including its Music has its origin in Nada Yoga.The relation of Yoga, Voice and Music. e) Voice or Sound occurs in four levels and dimensions. These four levels of Voice relate to frequency, fineness, perceiving level and strength. f) Reference of Voice hygiene in Ancient Text g) The merit and demerit of an Voice has been described by the Sangita Laksankaras their comparison in terms of modern knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology. In the Third Chapter the usefulness of Voice culture to train the voice to sing has been described: a)the style of breathing determines the quality of the voice to a large extent. Hence correct breathing habits should be well established in the early years itself. b) Voice Culture give us the correct direction to develop the vocals without any vocal abuse. Strain our throats in order to get a louder singing voice could result in vocal abuse or damage, because many of us may squeeze our vocal cords to get a louder singing voice. vii
8 c) Increasing the vocal range is one of the things that allows a singer to be versatile. Our vocal range is our ability to sing comfortably either high or low notes. Usually our range is measured in Saptak or octaves. d) Resonance is responsible for making the voice it sounded is more beautiful. Our vocal chords are far more complex, more capable than any instrument, can imitate nearly every instrument. In comparison, it sounded is more beautiful. No instrument can bring as much emotion and feel in a song than a human voice. e) Sustaining a note or any Swara which is completely in tune for various seconds is that the pleasure it provides for the vocalist when reaching the peak of the song is elements utilized during a skilled singing concert.

9 c) With the traditional method of voice training,a comprehensive study of all the scientific aspects related to voice cultivation and also the practice of technically developed exercises will help the singers to analyze one s own voice. In the Fifth Chapter I have been described role of voice culture in different vocal forms of Hindustani classical music a) There is a variety of Indian vocal styles with great diversity in classical music.
