Summary/Abstract: As an instrument, the human voice is unique and inimitable. Human voice reflects each individual’s personality and literacy. The beauty or ugliness of a sound depends only on breathing. Trying to imitate human voice, people invented a variety of musical instruments. The attack and emission of the sound are essential while singing. Frequently occurring voice problems are veiled voice, throatiness, the loss of the lowest and highest tones, flat sound and excessive vibrato. The oral cavity plays a very important role for sound resonance. Vowels are to be output, consonants should be articulated for the pronunciation of the word and the balance between vowels and consonants should remain constant.
