Singing ability is rooted in vocal-motor control of pitch.
The inability to vocally match a pitch can be caused by poor pitch perception or by poor vocal-motor control. Although previous studies have tried to examine the relationship between pitch perception and vocal production, they have failed to control for the timbre of the target to be matched. In the present study, we compare pitch-matching accuracy with an unfamiliar instrument (the slider) and...
متن کاملPoor-pitch singing as an inverse model deficit: Imitation and estimation
Research on the phenomenon of poor-pitch singing is puzzling in that most of the evidence to date has ruled out rather than supported possible sources of the deficit, including pitch perception ability, motor control, and memory capacity. I propose a new way to conceptualize deficits of singing rooted in motor control research. That is, poor-pitch singing may reflect a vocal-specific deficit of...
متن کاملVocal pitch discrimination in the motor system.
Speech production can be broadly separated into two distinct components: Phonation and Articulation. These two aspects require the efficient control of several phono-articulatory effectors. Speech is indeed generated by the vibration of the vocal-folds in the larynx (F0) followed by ''filtering" by articulators, to select certain resonant frequencies out of that wave (F1, F2, F3, etc.). Recentl...
متن کاملThe Vocal Tract in Singing
Precise control of the vocal tract configuration is of critical importance for producing the desired acoustic characteristics of singing. The pattern of acoustic resonances generated by a given vocal tract shape influences vowel identity, voice quality (timbre), and, to some degree, the spectral characteristics of the voice excitation source itself. This chapter is broadly focused on how the vo...
متن کاملExperience-dependent neural substrates involved in vocal pitch regulation during singing
Proper singing requires the integration of auditory feedback mechanisms with the vocal motor system, such that vocal pitch can be precisely controlled. To determine the neural substrates involved in audio-vocal integration, non-musicians and experienced singers underwent fMRI scanning while they sang a single tone with either unaltered ("simple") or pitch-shifted auditory feedback; in pitch-shi...
