When considering the minimal acting training incorporated into most voice performance programs, it is understandable why many singers struggle to balance vocal demands with acting demands. Furthermore, the expectations on singers to deliver authentic and nuanced performances are increasing as opera evolves. There is little in-depth understanding of classical singers' experiences with applying specific acting techniques to their singing. There is also little information about how different acting methods may affect classical singing. This mixed methods collective case study aims to identify the impact of training in a specific acting method on classical singing. The qualitative strand focuses on the personal experiences of two groups of singers who received training in either Chekhov or Meisner acting methods and on the outcomes of that training. In addition, survey and acoustic data provides further details on perceived quality of performance when specific acting training has been applied. Self-efficacy theory created a framework for the training and the qualitative analysis. Observations, interviews, and journal entries were used to identify qualitative themes related to the singers' learning and artistic experiences. For both acting methods, a survey of the pre- and post-training video recordings of the singers' performances was sent to professional voice teachers and directors. In addition, acoustic analysis was done on pre- and post-recordings to look for trends in parameters associated with voice quality and expression (HNR, SPR, scooped onset, and vibrato). Survey and acoustic data did not reveal either acting method as having a strong impact on the singing. Survey ratings showed minimal yet positive changes from pre- to post-video recordings. Acoustic data supported that singers who improved in multiple parameters were generally rated higher by survey respondents. Cross-case analysis revealed a positive influence of self-efficacy on both the learning and artistic experiences of the singers.
