Abstract

          This research purposes were (1) to study the soprano activities and teaching from expert, (2) to create the multimedia soprano vocal class, (3) to teach multimedia soprano vocal class with second-year students, (4) to evaluate multimedia soprano vocal class. The research methodology was mixed method research collected data by interview key informants and conducted experimental research.
          The research findings were to ensure a round and three-dimensional sound texture, maintain an oval mouth shape and open and close the mouth habit when in the mid-low, low-pitched, and transitional sound zones. When the sound enters the high-pitched area, slightly raise the cheekbones while opening and closing the mouth up and down to expand the sound space and better enter the head cavity. Soprano singing requires attention to the unity of timbre between middle, low, and high areas and potential tongue problems. Daily training should start with mixing exercises from the low-pitched area to improve awareness and transition to the falsetto channel. Addressing problems with tongue lifting or root sound requires mastering the scientific breathing pattern, holding the chin gently on the back of the hand, raising the upper palate, and placing the tongue on the lower jaw.
