Abstract

This study is carried out due to the differences in the pronunciation of song lyrics between dangdut and pop singers. For example, dangdut singers pronounce the word /cinta/ in “Saat Terakhir” by ST12 as [cInta], while pop singers pronounce it as [chIncha]. The data were from “Saat Terakhir” by ST12 sung by Charly Van Houten and Lesti Kejora as they have a quite similar voice color. This study focuses on the acoustic-phonetic differences of the two singers including (a) duration, (b) frequency or pitch, and (3) intensity or voice. The data were obtained through downloading the song and analyzed using acoustic-phonetic theory with the help of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) for phonetic transcription and Praat software for acoustic-phonetic analysis. The results indicate that in terms of pronunciation, the pop singer adds aspirated sounds of [h] to phonemes of /c/, /t/, and /d/ and pronounce the sound /t/ to [ch] and [th], while the Dangdut singer tends to pronounce them in accordance with the rules of the language. The Dangdut singer tend to sing longer than pop singers with a duration of 42.067394 microseconds. Further, the Dangdut singer has a higher tone frequency than the pop singer of 533.2434584525848 Hz. Meanwhile, the pop singer has a higher voice loudness than the Dangdut singer with a scale of 86.16124255533789 dB.
