The research involved six well-known choir conductors with a long<br>professional experience conducting professional and non-professional choirs of different<br>ages and a broad pedagogical work experience in music. The method of thematic analysis<br>was employed for analysing interview outcomes.<br>Interview answers were structured and analysed in such thematic fields as use of voice and<br>a vocal load, vocal fatigue, body posture, knowledge and understanding about voice<br>ergonomics, organisation of rehearsal processes, and room environment. Conclusion: the<br>main factors affecting the quality of voice sounding were an increased vocal load, fatigue,<br>stress, body posture and air quality of rooms.<br><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: voice ergonomics, choir conductors, vocal load, vocal fatigue, stress, physical<br>ergonomics, cognitive ergonomics, organisational ergonomics<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"wppdfemb-frame-container-188\"><iframe id=\"wppdf-emb-iframe-188\" scrolling=\"no\" data-pdf-index=\"2\" class=\"pdfembed-iframe nonfullscreen\" style=\"border: none; width:100%; max-width: 100%; min-height: 1000px;\" src=\"https:\/\/pmp.du.lv?pdfID=188&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fpmp.du.lv%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F06%2FPMP_21-1_2022_77-93.pdf&#038;index=2\" ><\/iframe><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s) Ilze VALCE, Baiba TRIN\u012aTE, Olga BLAUZDE, Mirdza PAIPARE, Dina BARUTE,Madara IVANE, Anete KR\u016aZA &amp; Dina SLE\u017dE Abstract Voice ergonomics considers the load issues and identifies physical and emotional factorsthat affect voice quality.
