Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The purpose of this study is to establish a teaching method of singing based on acoustic features of singing voice. In this paper, we focus on Singer's Formant ratio (SFR) and peak sharpness of the Singer's formant (Q-factor) as acoustic features of the singing voice. By analyzing the SFR and the Q-factor observed in pre- and post-tests which were performed to beginners before/after a medium-term singing training, we considered the transition of these values in their growth processes. Next, we compared the SFR and Q-factor values between several singing-voice production types by expert singers, namely, non-vibrato and vibrato. The results show that, for the experts' singing voice, relatively large values are observed both in the SFR and Q-factor, while the singing voice of beginners show a large value only in SFR or Q-factor, or small values both in SFR and Q-factor.
