- W120639563 abstract "WITHIN THE VOCAL COMMUNITY EXISTS a convenient notion, asserting that there will be very little difference between the levels of equally elite singers. For example, at an audition in which the vocal skills of all singing participants are truly on a par, this theory would assume that each of these singers should perform as well as the other. But this is not the case. Why? The major factor most likely to distinguish the best from a mediocre one is the singer's ability to cope with psychologic pressure. This ability might include such elements as self-confidence, concentration, motivation, and effort. Consistently, however, one crucial factor is the ability to handle the stresses and strains of the performing situation. This article will consider the term performance to include auditions, competitions, concerts, recitals, and fully costumed and staged works. Today's top-level singers find themselves in a highly competitive environment whose rewards (success) and disappointments (failure) are often great-thus, a truly volatile mix that causes stress. When speaking and working with singers, it is quite evident that they all do not perceive stress necessarily as a negative phenomenon. On the contrary, those who find that stress can be useful always make an effort to perceive stresses of in a positive way. Other singers need to feel under pressure to perform well, meaning that pressure improves their performances in comparison with their practice sessions. Singing demands fine manipulative skills; as a consequence, singers can cope with only low to medium levels of stress before their is affected detrimentally. It therefore becomes critical that individual singers understand just how much stress they can manage before it interferes with their performances. The singing world is populated by performers who have talent and potential, who do very well in practice, but seldom manage to reproduce this level in performance. Many if not all such performers who experience problems handling pressure will identify themselves as being anxious, especially before and during performance. What Differentiates between Stress, Anxiety, and Arousal in Performance? Although these three terms are often used interchangeably, stress tends to be the result of the interaction between the singer and the environment.1 Therefore, the singers' thought processes or cognitive appraisal of the stressor are critical ingredients in the stress equation. All performances are thus stressors. Whether, however, the environment causes an anxious response in performers will depend on the appraisal of their ability to meet the demands of the performing situation. Examples of stressors include: * the very presence of the audition panel; * another singer performing the same repertoire; * the presence of the voice teacher during an audition or competition; * an opening night with press present; * an accompanist arriving late; * bad weather drastically cutting the size of the audience; * an ill-fitting costume; * a critical attitude on the part of the conductor; * the presence in the audience of a musical V.I.P. In this interactionist model, stress in can be perceived in two different ways: positively, in which the singer copes with the stress and shows little anxiety, or negatively, which leads to symptoms of anxiety in the performer, thus influencing the badly. This less effective is the result when the stressor is viewed as a threat, when the performer's perception is that he or she lacks the personal resources to respond to such a threat, thereby producing anxiety. The situation is made more complex in this way: the same singer's response to the will vary according to the specific environmental stressors. In one there might be little anxiety, but in another the level could be higher. …" @default.
