JPH02232681A - Voicing training device and microphone - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To train for voicing effectively by equipping the microphone with an electronic camera which uses a CCD, etc., or camera which utilizes an optical fiber, and connecting the camera to a monitor device equipped with an image display device and a sound reinforcing device. CONSTITUTION:The hand microphone equipped with the optical fiber type camera having a photodetection part 1b directed to the same side with a voice reception part 1a or the electronic camera which uses the CCD, etc., is connected to the monitor device 3 by a cable 2 which transmits an electric signal and a light signal. The monitor device 3 is equipped with the image display device 31 which uses a CRT or liquid crystal screen, a video deck 32, a tape deck 33, speakers 34 and 35, and various switches and the outlet 36 for the hand microphone is switched by a changeover switch 37. Therefore, when a voice is generated while the microphone 1 is used, information on the speaker is displayed on the image display device 31 of the monitor device 3 and the sound reinforcing devices 34 and 35 reinforce the voice. Consequently, the voicing trailing is performed effectively.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] This invention relates to a vocal training device used for vocal practice, English conversation instruction, etc., and a microphone used therein. [Prior art and its problems] Vocal practice in vocal studies is performed under the guidance of a teacher, and emphasis is placed on how to open and move the mouth. In addition, when teaching singing techniques, the teacher plays the piano while having the students sing, correcting the way the students open their mouths, move their mouths, and correct their facial expressions. It is difficult to fully observe how the child's mouth opens and moves.

Furthermore, although devices have been developed to teach English conversation to a large number of students, it is not possible to observe how individual students open and move their mouths, so corrective guidance has not been sufficient. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a device that is convenient for vocal training by allowing easy observation of the student's mouth opening, movement, facial expressions, etc. as well as the voice. ．． [Means for Solving the Problems] This invention was made to solve the above problems, and it equips a microphone with an electronic camera using a CCD or the like, a camera using optical fiber, etc., and uses this as an image display device. It is connected to a monitor device equipped with a public address system.

[For production]

When a person speaks using a microphone (hereinafter simply referred to as a microphone), the speaker's facial expression is displayed on the image display device of the monitor device, and the amplification device amplifies the voice.

Therefore, if the monitor device is placed at the teacher's hand, vocal guidance can be easily provided. It can also be used as a so-called karaoke device.

〔Example〕

The drawings show an embodiment of the invention, and 1 indicates a voice receiving section 1a.
A fiber-optic camera with the light receiving part ib facing the same side as the
2 is a cable for transmitting electrical signals and optical signals, and 3 is a monitor device.

The monitor device is an image display section 3 using a CRT or liquid crystal screen.
1. Video Denki 32. It is equipped with a table socket 33, a speaker 34, 35, and various switches.Although only one outlet 36 for a hand microphone is shown in the figure, it is equipped with a plurality of outlets and can be switched with a changeover switch 37. Next, to explain how to use it, for example, in the case of singing practice, the monitor device is placed in the teacher's hands, for example, on the piano (or it can be built into the piano), and the 8E students can hold the handheld microphone in any position they like and speak. Practice or sing. Since the student's face is displayed on the image display section 31, the teacher can easily observe the facial expressions of the student's head, the way the mouth opens, and the way the mouth moves, and provide corrective guidance.

When using it for practicing English conversation, switch 37
Individual guidance can be provided by operating the .

Also, if you use the video deck 32 to record and play back,
It allows students to understand their own shortcomings. Furthermore, since the apparatus of the embodiment is equipped with a tape deck 33, it can also be used as a karaoke apparatus.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, by using the device of this invention, vocal training can be performed effectively, and the device has a wide range of applications, such as being able to be used in karaoke devices and the like.
