Group singing events have been associated with several outbreaks of infection during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic (1). This link supports the possibility that aerosols are partly responsible for person-to-person infection. This study aims to analyze the impulse dispersion dynamics of aerosols in professional singers concerning the differences between singing a text, singing a vowel, or speaking at different levels of loudness. Some of the results of these studies have been previously reported in the form of a preprint (https://doi.org/10.1101/ 2020.07.21.20158832).
