As a communication between a person and a robot, we aim for the robot to clap hands according to the person who is singing. This paper describes acquiring the tempo from singing voice without drum sound, that is, by a cappella. As an outline of the estimation method, the rising of the sound volume is detected, and the tempo is estimated from these time intervals. We were able to estimate the tempo in real time against a song of speed of 60 BPM. However, for slow and fast songs it took a long time to estimate the tempo.
