Sorry, I can't hear you : A hearing impaired classical singer's exploration of vocal self-perception

Vocal self-perception plays an important role in the learning process as a classical singer, especially to a hearing impaired classical singer like myself. To explore and challenge my vocal self-perception, I used two different enchanced feedback methods to observe how I responded with my singing technique: one based on auditory feedback and one based on visual feedback. I formulated two training sequences with a defined schedule and procedure. I sang excerpts from two contrasting arias and made a total of seventeen audio recordings and eleven video recordings. Those recordings were then evaluated by me in listening sessions, focusing on the quality of tone. I chose six audio recordings to play for a small discussion group and collected the group's perceptual data. The results suggest that these methods did not positively impact my singing technique, but the experience did lead me to some important realizations about certain timbral qualities in my voice, and I learned a great deal about different aspects of vocal self-perception in my singing practice.
