Vocal registers revisited
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper concerns the quest to find acoustical parameters that describe properties of vocal fold functioning from professional singing to voice pathologies. Improved data handling within the framework of phonetogram recordings has been used to arrive at a better understanding of what acoustical parameters could tell us about vocal registers.

ACADEMIC WRITING REVISITED: A PHRASEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF APPLIED LINGUISTICS HIGH-STAKE GENRES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF LEXICAL BUNDLES
Lexical bundles are frequent word combinations that commonly appear in different registers. They have been the subject of much research in the area of corpus linguistics during the last decade. While most previous studies of bundles have mainly focused on variations in the use of these word combinations across different registers and a number of disciplines, not much research has been done to e...
متن کاملLaryngeal vibratory mechanisms: the notion of vocal register revisited.
This study, focused on the laryngeal source level, introduces the concept of laryngeal vibratory mechanism. Human phonation is characterized by the use of four laryngeal mechanisms, labeled M0-M3, as evidenced by the electroglottographic (EGG) study of the transition phenomena between mechanisms with a population of men and women, trained and untrained singers. Macroscopic and local description...
متن کاملComparison of biomechanical modeling of register transitions and voice instabilities with excised larynx experiments.
Voice instabilities were studied using excised human larynx experiments and biomechanical modeling. With a controlled elongation of the vocal folds, the experiments showed registers with chest-like and falsetto-like vibrations. Observed instabilities included abrupt jumps between the two registers exhibiting hysteresis, aphonic episodes, subharmonics, and chaos near the register transitions. In...
متن کاملEvaluation of the vocal tract with real time MRI and MRI volumetry in professional tenors
Introduction Vocal registers and their origins have been the subject of extensive research and controversy for more than 200 years. It is commonly assumed that vocal tract resonances influence registers and register transitions. Also, model experiments have suggested that the vocal tract interacts with the voice source [1, 2] and thus may have an influence on vocal registers. Vocal tract resona...
متن کاملVoice source characteristics in different registers in classically trained female musical theatre singers
Musical theatre singing typically requires females to use two vocal registers. Physiological differences between these registers, however, have not been explicated. Our investigation considered voice source and subglottal pressure Ps characteristics of these registers, here referred to as chest and head register. These were studied by inverse filtering the oral airflow recorded for a sequence o...
