In order to get a clearer picture, my research consists of five major parts. The first one describes the main characteristics of vowels, while the second one focuses on different English accents (British, American, and Scottish accent) and the behaviour of vowels in each accent. The next two chapters deal with the analysis of sung text, including songs of these authors representing each accent and their recited equivalents re-enterpreted some of the professors from the English department. In the last part of this paper, concrete differences in and comparisons of the vowels in the sung and recited texts are to be found. I have come to the conclusion that vowels in the sung and recited texts show differences, especially in two vowel features: vowel lenght and vowel quality.[J.
