As we learn singing we should know the voice as an instrument and all its needs. Often singing education is limited to the technical mastery of the instrument and the psychological aspect is omitted. Hence, the psyche needs to be tamed by the singer himself. A teacher preparing a singer from the technical and interpretive side can only trust in the psychological resistance of the student and his inner positive motivation to perform.

The aim of this thesis was to find an answer to following question; what has an impact on the consciousness of the singer-artist? The study was implemented as a literature review by reflecting to the author’s own experience as a singer and classical singing teacher.

It was found out that issues like emotion, memory and knowledge may affect the singer’s performance via his consciousness.

The result of this thesis is thoroughly discussed with a help of map of singer’s consciousness in order to help to understand the main issues related to the consciousness of a singer and elements connected to it. The map helps to identify the level of singer’s consciousness.
