Abstract: | That singers under certain circumstances adjust the articulation of the vocal tract (formant tuning) to enhance acoustic output is both apparent from measurements and understood in theory. The precise effect of a formant on an approaching (retreating) harmonic as the latter varies in frequency during actual singing, however, is difficult to isolate. In this study variations in amplitude of radiated sound components as well as supraglottal and subglottal (esophageal) pressures accompanying the vibrato-related sweep of voice harmonics were used as a basis for estimating the effective center frequencies and bandwidths of the first and second formants. |
