Analysis of intraperiodic formant modulations in spoken and sung vowels
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intraperiodic formant modulations in spoken and sung vowels from four Finnish male opera singers were analyzed by using analytic filtering method and modified covariance type of linear prediction. Both methods revealed clear formant modulations. Differences were seen between spoken and sung samples and between individuals.

Inexactness and robustness in cepstral-to-formant transformation of spoken and sung vowels
Accurate measurement of formant frequencies is important in many studies of speech production and perception. The mapping of formant frequencies from cepstra coefficients by Broad and Clermont (1989) is an important evolution in formant estimation techniques from previous studies. This method also holds significant potential in estimating formant frequencies of sung vowels due to its improved r...
متن کاملFormant frequency analysis of children's spoken and sung vowels using sweeping fundamental frequency production.
High-pitched productions present difficulties in formant frequency analysis due to wide harmonic spacing and poorly defined formants. As a consequence, there is little reliable data regarding children's spoken or sung vowel formants. Twenty-nine 11-year-old Swedish children were asked to produce 4 sustained spoken and sung vowels. In order to circumvent the problem of wide harmonic spacing, F1 ...
متن کاملStudy and Comparison of Formant Characteristics of Persian Vowels in 4-7-year-old Children Using Cochlear Implants and Those Using Hearing Aids
Background and Objective: One of the most important physical properties of vowels is their formant structure. One of the most obvious speech errors in hearing-impaired children is vowel errors. The present study aimed to determine and compare the formant structure of Persian vowels in deaf and cochlear implant children in the age range of 4-7 years. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-anal...
متن کاملThe Study of Vowel Space and Formant Structure in Mazani Language
Objective: One of the parameters showing the correct phonetic and phonological development is the correct and clear articulation of vowels is achieved by changing the shape of vocal cords through altering the height and position of the tongue and the movement of the lips and jaw. The tongue’s height and position are the basis of the production and difference of vowels. In other words, the raw s...
متن کاملVowel placement during operatic singing: 'come si parla' or 'aggiustamento'?
This study explored two tenets of the Italian Bel Canto operatic singing technique “Come si parla” and “aggiustamento.” Articulatory changes in the lower formant vowel space of 11 spoken and sung vowels were systematically examined in six male singers. Results showed that singers influence the placement of the lowest formant frequencies in the sung vowel space using both a lowered larynx and mo...
