This paper examines the phenomenon in which a listener perceives other’s singing voice through his/ her own physical presence originated from the listener’s singing body. This analysis focuses on the features similar to auscultation, one of the medical practices, in the listening process, and considers the auditory spacing and its relation with the listener’s body. Auditory perception, in contrast to visual perception, has been described as a passive sense because it is impossible to close our ears the way we close our eyes. However, this study seeks to demonstrate that listening to singing voice is means of active inquiry and there are subjective behaviors in the listening process.
