Self-organizing the space of vocal imitations
The human voice is a powerful instrument for producing sound sketches. The sonic space that can be spanned with the voice is vast and complex and, therefore, it is difficult to organize and explore. In this contribution, we report on our attempts at extracting the principal components from a database of 152 short excerpts of vocal imitations. We describe each excerpt by a set of statistical aud...
متن کاملVocal Imitations of Non-Vocal Sounds
Imitative behaviors are widespread in humans, in particular whenever two persons communicate and interact. Several tokens of spoken languages (onomatopoeias, ideophones, and phonesthemes) also display different degrees of iconicity between the sound of a word and what it refers to. Thus, it probably comes at no surprise that human speakers use a lot of imitative vocalizations and gestures when ...
متن کاملA design exploration on the effectiveness of vocal imitations
Among sonic interaction design practices a rising interest is given to the use of the voice as a tool for producing fast and rough sketches. Goal of the EU project SkATVG (Sketching Audio Technologies using Vocalization and Gestures, 2014-2016) is to develop vocal sketching as a reference practice for sound design by (i) improving our understanding on how sounds are communicated through vocaliz...
متن کاملAnalysis of Vocal Imitations of Pitch Trajectories
In this paper, we analyse the pitch trajectories of vocal imitations by non-poor singers. A group of 43 selected singers was asked to vocally imitate a set of stimuli. Five stimulus types were used: a constant pitch (stable), a constant pitch preceded by a pitch glide (head), a constant pitch followed by a pitch glide (tail), a pitch ramp and a pitch with vibrato; with parameters for main pitch...
متن کاملVocal imitations of basic auditory features.
Describing complex sounds with words is a difficult task. In fact, previous studies have shown that vocal imitations of sounds are more effective than verbal descriptions [Lemaitre and Rocchesso (2014). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 135, 862-873]. The current study investigated how vocal imitations of sounds enable their recognition by studying how two expert and two lay participants reproduced four basi...
