Abstract(in English) The purpose of this study is to develop teaching method based on acoustic features of singing voices. We have examined acoustic features differences and psychological impression about some singing voices with various skill levels. In this paper, we discuss the relationship between acoustic features and levels of proficiency. As acoustic features, we measured power level, sharpness of singer's formant, and duration/amplitude/frequency of vibrato of the singing voices. Also, we extracted two factors suitable for singing voices evaluation by using semantic differential method, as psychological impression evaluation. In addition, an experimental vocal lesson for some beginners was executed. We compared the changes of acoustic features of singing voices in pre-test and post-test. Then, based on these results, we consider the relationship between acoustic features and skill levels of singers.
