In this article, the relationship between voice and personality has been studied, and itwas pointed out that understanding this relationship is one of the key points that theteacher should pay attention to during voice education in order to find the student’s ownvoice. Voice and Word have been assigned various meanings within cultural history;especially, human voice has been subject to many mystical and philosophical texts. Voiceand personality was derived from the same Latin word. The word “persona” consists ofper: for, and sona: (sound) voice; therefore, it is a compound word. It also means “Mask”and in many languages the word “personality” is derived from it. According to Carl GustavJung, “persona” or “mask” is the attitude an individual has towards life. Throughoutchildhood, the individual acts solely on his/her own desires, but as he/she grows old, theindividual learns how to play a certain role in order to get what he/she wants. If we applythe same theory to voice, the individual who copies different role models is departed fromhis/her natural voice by narrowing down the limits and possibilities of his/her own voice.In vocal training, whether it is conducted verbally or musically, the trainer has to analyzeand resolve this relationship. By breaking the habits and conditionings of the trainee, he/she should pave the way for finding the trainee’s own unique voice. Doing vocal exerciseshelps overcome emotional obstacles, which results in improvement of the voice. Vocaleducation should be a field of constant learning for both the trainee and the trainer. In the“Results and Discussion” section of the article, pedagogical elements of voice educationin terms of voice-personality relationship are specified.
