Abstract
An accurately written representation of Korean diction has
been in my thoughts since my study at Hanyang University in Seoul,
Korea. While studying Italian, English, French and German diction, I
came to realize that no manual for Korean diction existed.
Originally, I wanted to write a Korean diction manual for Korean
singers as my master's thesis. While that was never accomplished,
that idea has served as the impetus for this document.
This lecture document is A Study Korean Diction for Singers.
Such a manual can be useful to Western singers who wish to explore
Korean art song. The lecture demonstration will
provide a brief introduction to the Korean alphabet, and selected
Korean songs have been chosen to demonstrate the pronunciation.
