Abstract

EVALUATION OF SINGING VOICE HANDICAP INDEX (M SVHI) AMONG CARNATIC AND HINDUSTANI SINGERS IN KERALA

Sona Paul*, Dr. Satish Kumaraswamy

ABSTRACT

Singing is a high demanding vocal activity. Singers exposed to Carnatic and Hindustani styles are prone to sustained vocal load that may lead to voice handicap. The present study aimed to assess the singing voice handicap among Carnatic and Hindustani singers, which includes 20 Carnatic and 20 Hindustani singers aged 25-55 years in Kerala using M-SVHI. The results suggest a statistically significant difference in M SVHI scores between the two groups with Carnatic singers reporting a higher mean score (110.55) compared to Hindustani singers (84.15, p< 0.001) although both groups exceeded the cut?off score of 30. Carnatic singers perceived greater difficulty across physical, functional and emotional domains likely because their music style demands more rigid and precise vocal control. While Hindustani singers scored lower because of the differences in technique and practice habits. Therefore, the study highlights the need for regular screening, vocal hygiene education and style-specific vocal health programs for both groups to maintain long term vocal health.
