Özet:

 In this study, a preliminary comparative study was conducted for the first time using the DoctorVox device by instructorperformer participants using two different formant patterns in Turkish and Western music. The participants used the DoctorVox device before recordings to practice the selected tonal exercises ascending and descending; they recorded glissando exercises and a, e, i, o vocals in a constant studio setting at Week 0 at the start of the study and Week 8 at the end of the study. The data obtained from the measurements were evaluated in the Customized Praat Program in line with the determined parameters, and thus, the results were revealed. In this study, the measured values of fundamental frequency, jitter, shimmer, harmonic noise ratio, pitch values, maximum phonation time, and voice range improved in all objective measurements. The subjective measurement outcomes indicated that participants vocal and breathing health was good, their conditions improved, voices warmed rapidly, felt comfortable in high notes, physical and mental bonding grew gradually, and their confidence increased. In addition, participants motivation and professional goals improved, such as delivering performances and adding new pieces to their repertoire. Because of the athletic achievements obtained using the selected tonal vocal exercises as a vocal training method in the study, it is believed that it will help to eliminate existing negative thoughts about the use of Western vocal exercises that are methodologically supported by scientific data and will contribute to the present literature for vocal studies.

 Bu çalışmada, ilk kez DoctorVox aletiyle Türk ve Batı müziği alanlarında farklı formant örüntülerini kullanan eğitmen-icracı katılımcılar tarafından karşılaştırmalı bir araştırma uygulanmıştır. DoctorVox aleti kullanılarak çıkıcı-inici seçilmiş tonal egzersizleri uygulamış, çalışmadan önce 0. haftada ve çalışma sonunda 8. haftada değişmeyen stüdyo ortamındaki glissando egzersizi ve a, e, i, o vokalleri kayıt altına alınmıştır. Ölçümlerinden elde edilen veriler belirlenen parametreler doğrultusunda Özelleştirilmiş Praat Programında analiz edilmiş böylece sonuçlar ortaya konulmuştur. Çalışmada; ölçülen Temel FrekansF0, Jitter, Shimmer, Harmonik Gürültü Oranı, perde değerlerinin ve maksimum fonasyon süresi ile ses genişliği, objektif ölçüm değerlerinin tümünde ses kalitesinde olumlu gelişmeyi işaret eden değişiklikler saptanmıştır. Sübjektif ölçüm sonuçlarındaysa, katılımcıların ses ve nefes sağlıklarının yerinde olduğu, kondisyonlarının geliştiği, seslerinin hızla açıldığı, tiz notalarda kendilerini konforlu hissettikleri, bedensel ve mental bağ kurmanın kolaylaştığı ve güvenlerinin arttığı görülmüştür. Katılımcılarda motivasyon yükselmiş, konser verme ve repertuvarlarına yeni parça ekleme gibi mesleki hedefler artmıştır. Çalışmada seçilen tonal ses egzersizlerinin, ses eğitim yöntemi olarak kullanılmasıyla elde edilen sportif kazanımların özellikle Türk makam müziği ses eğitiminde, bilimsel verilerle yöntemsel olarak desteklenen Batı ses egzersizlerinin kullanımı yönünde var olan olumsuz düşüncelerin ortadan kalkmasına yardımcı olacağı ve yapılacak ses çalışmaları için güncel literatüre katkı sağlanacağı düşünülmektedir.
