In the study of a song, it is common that singers come across technical difficulties related to breathing, resonance and sonority. Some of these difficulties can be related to the artist him or herself or to the musical genre. This research sought to investigate aspects that differentiate the singing voice both in classical and popular genres, associating the genre and type of emission with the singer and his or her singing. Objective: to compare acoustic singing emission characteristics of classical and popular female singers in a passage of the song Melodia Sentimental of the composer Heitor Villa-Lobos. Method: ten professional singers, five classical (GE) and five popular (GP) recorded the first strophe of the song Melodia Sentimental (Sentimental Melody) by Villa-Lobos and a passage the six first verses was extracted for the acoustic analysis. Two analyses were made: long-term average spectra (LTAS) and voice onset time (VOT) for two consonants /d/ of the passage. Results: in the LTAS analysis, the classical singers had a prominence within the 2.5kHz and 3.5kHz frequency region, not found in the most part of the popular singers. Regarding the spectral slope, the GE reached flatter curves in comparison to the GP, and the decline numeric value was lower for the classical singers compared to the popular singers. As for VOT analysis classical singers had a lower VOT value when confronted to the popular singers, denoting longer glottal closure time among the popular singers. Conclusion: When comparing the classical and popular singers group regarding acoustic aspects, it was verified that classical singers have both higher energy and lower time on glottal closure compared to the popular singers
