Abstract

This article is addressed to pedagogues, students, and professional singers and draws attention to the tight connection between the functionality of the larynx and the cybernetic circuits of the ear. During the training periods of a singer, and then throughout one’s career, we deal with sound intonation flaws very many times. These are due not only to a flawed vocal technique or amusia , but also to flaws of audio-vocal feedback circuits many times. If they are discovered and corrected, the voice can be completely regained. It is very important to be aware of the difference between hearing and listening, dealing with the listening posture when singing and the medical check of a specialized doctor in hearing impairment.
