Voice parameter changes in professional musician-singers singing with and without an instrument: the effect of body posture

BACKGROUND AND AIM:
The impact of body posture on vocal emission is well known. Postural changes may increase muscular resistance in tracts of the phono-articulatory apparatus and lead to voice disorders. This work aimed to assess whether and to which extent body posture during singing and playing a musical instrument impacts voice performance in professional musicians.
