About this exposition

This thesis was inspired by challenges in the author's own artistic development and her interest in acting while singing. The aim of the research is to discover, to what extent can physical gesture initiate emotional connections and therefore change the colour of a classical singer’s voice. Opera can be one of the most challenging forms of performance art, but at the same time, most rewarding. As an opera singer, one needs to be able to sing beautifully, while also maintaining complete physical and mental awareness of everything around them, as well as within themselves. Acting while singing is a delicate dance between a singer’s body, central nervous system, and their voice. These elements must work together in harmony, taking and filtering constant inputs from the outside, giving emotional output to the audience, and keeping in mind the technical training that has been done earlier. Using both literature research and a questionnaire, the thesis unveils some correlations between staged acting and singing, but these results are not absolute. The author discovers that there are no universal formulas for better acting while singing, but only tailor-made solutions in which every singer must discover for themselves, together with their coaches, how to optimize their performance.
