Gradually, with the development of social relations, national vocal cultures are merging into a single pan-European (and due to modern globalization processes into a global) vocal culture. Vocal culture, which has developed and stood out as a kind of phenomenon, has taken its place in the general culture, and today plays a significant social role in society. So, there is an association of composers, performers, connoisseurs of music and vocal performance in a special musical community which, on the one hand, is determined by features of national originality, and on the other - corresponds to European and world trends in the development of art. An important role in the formation of the space of vocal culture of the XX - XXI centuries is played by the public - the recipient of musical art. Like the division of the whole culture into mass and elite, vocal is also divided into popular, understandable for wide circles of society (often called pop, commercial, mass) and elite (in turn, usually associated with academic music). So, they differ, in a certain way oppose, oppose, not only academic and pop manners of vocal performance, but also academic and pop vocal cultures, which, of course, affects the attitude to traditions, to the technique of vocation, to culture in general, talent and creativity.
