Research on the Support and Influence of Italian Phonetic Characteristics on Bel Canto Singing

As the mother tongue carrier of bel canto, Italian has a deep inherent connection between its phonetic system and singing art. This article systematically analyzes the pronunciation rules of Italian vowels and consonants from a phonetic perspective, and explores how they provide natural phonetic support for bel canto singing by combining syllable division and stress characteristics. Research has found that the clear and uniform vowel system, regular consonant combinations, and distinct rhythmic stress features of Italian not only shape the aesthetic standard of “correct pronunciation and round voice” in bel canto singing, but also become an important foundation for voice positioning and breath control in vocal training.
