Breathing strategy is generally regarded as an important factor in operatic singing, because it is assumed to affect phonation. If so, professional singers should exhibit well-controlled, replicable breathing movements when repeating the same phrase. The purpose of the present study was to investigate to what extent professional opera singers show a consistent, exhalatory breathing behavior in ...

The synthesis of different voice qualities by means of a low-dimensional glottal model is discussed. The glottal model is based on a one-mass model provided with a number of enhancements that make it suitable to the aim of the study. The simulation of modal and non-modal phonatory regimes is discussed. Both symmetric and nonsymmetric configurations are explored. The class of models under consid...

This paper explores perceptual salience of voice source parameter manipulation in signaling prominence the absence f 0 variation. Synthetic stimuli were generated based on an inverse filtered all-voiced utterance “We away a year ago.” A global waveshape R d was manipulated to enhance two potentially accentable syllables WAY and YEAR provide deaccentuation post-focally. The manipulations intende...

This study aims at presenting a review, from the methodological point of view, procedures and demands related to phonetic approach clinical data. The possibility taking into account interface between speech perception production may be productive when analyzing data collected settings or developing researches in which central questions arose practice. dynamics aspects are considered. series stu...
