The masked singing is a unique artistic feature that provides a good performance effect and a wonderful auditory experience for the audience. Although mask singing is one of the techniques of bel canto, it can also help to improve the learning of popular music soprano. Based on the analysis of the artistic characteristics and the advantages of the Italian "mask singing" technique, we explore the practice techniques of the "mask singing" technique in terms of resonance, playing, breathing, and language, aiming to provide singers with the opportunity to understand and master the "mask singing" technique. The aim is to provide a reference for singers to understand and master the techniques of "mask singing" and the laws of artistic expression.
