The Artist's Gauntlet: A Singers' Physiological Responses to the Stimuli of Rehearsing and Performing
Year: 2013
Type: article
Abstract: This study examined the relationship of a subject's heart rate variability, respiration rate and other vital statistics to rehearsing and performing as a singer. Among the events used for data collection were individual lessons of undergraduates and a lecture-recital presented by a graduate student. Findings indicate a general upward trend in HRV and an increase in range of HR%MAX among subjects while singing, along with a general decrease of respiration rate.
