Method: The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative assessments and qualitative analyses to explore the experiences of vocalists in diverse performance settings. Results: The findings suggest that several treatment plans can achieve reduced levels of MPA. By identifying specific vocal mechanisms and exercises associated with anxiety alleviation, this research seeks to provide practical strategies for vocalists, educators, and performance coaches to address MPA systematically. Conclusion: This study bridges the gap between vocal pedagogy and psychological well-being within the context of musical performance. The research provides invaluable insights regarding MPA for performers, educators, and researchers alike, fostering a holistic understanding of the factors shaping the emotional landscape of vocal performance.
