Absolute Pitch in Oral Transmission of Folk Tunes as Constrained Random Walks by Klaus Frieler

“…Based on simulations of absolute pitch class of tonics during oral transmission of folk songs, I argue that the interplay of melodic range and vocal range might actually be the main reason for the observed non-uniformity, in contrast to the conclusions presented in Olthof et al. (2015). …”

Vocal Classification: A Comparative Study Between Italian, French and German Schools of singing by Maurício Machado Mangini, Marta Assunção de Andrada e Silva

“…The classificatory parameters used more frequently by three schools are, respectively, the vocal range and timbre. It was concluded that the classification of voices involves anatomical, functional, psychological, and cultural aspects, and therefore should be seen as a slow and gradual process for construction of the opera singer's vocal identity.…”

How does human motor cortex regulate vocal pitch in singers? by Michel Belyk, Yune S. Lee, Steven Brown

“…We scanned choral singers with functional magnetic resonance imaging as they produced discrete pitches at four different levels across their vocal range. While the locations of the larynx motor activations varied across singers, the activation peaks for the four pitch levels were highly consistent within each individual singer. …”

In die gees van die Dionisiese: Marlene van Niekerk se aanhangersbrief aan Freddy Mercury by Marius Crous

“…The poem deals with the rock musician Freddy Mercury and from my reading is shown to be exemplifying the Dionysian spirit through Mercury’s movements, his performance and his vocal range. From my reading of the text it is evident that there was a strong fusion of the Apollonian and Dionysian in the life and work of Freddy Mercury. …”

Die Knarrstimme in deutsch- und in kroatischsprachigen Gesprächen als Merkmal eines zusätzlichen abschliessenden stimmlichen Musters by Dario Marić

“…Occasional short switches to creaky voice are common in spoken discourse of numerous languages without either the speakers or the recipients being highly aware of them, which is the reason the creaky voice phenomenon is, under the best of conditions, considered by them as a phenomenon of going down to very low or even the lowest part of their vocal range. In this paper, it is proposed that creaky voice when it comes to spoken conversations in German and Croatian serves as a short-term mechanism for a relatively delayed formation of completional prosodic patterns that, until the manifestation of the creaky voice, to that point also comprise, among other features, accents with rising or flat tonal components. …”

Investigation of prosody and language in mother-baby interaction by Karen Moscon Splendore, Ana Carolina Constantini, Kelly Cristina Brandão da Silva

“…The results obtained from the maternal speech spectrograms, analyzed in PRAAT® software, and from the baby’s reaction show that the mother ideates her child as a dialogical partner, and that both are attracted by the specific prosodic properties of motherese, given by decreased speech rate and increased vocal range, which reveals that maternal prosody performs a linguistic function since the early months of life. …”

Uncovering phenotypes of poor-pitch singing: The Sung Performance Battery (SPB) by Magdalena eBerkowska, Simone eDalla Bella

“…The SPB starts from the assessment of participants’ vocal range followed by five tasks: 1) single-pitch matching, 2) pitch-interval matching, 3) novel-melody matching, 4) singing from memory of familiar melodies (with lyrics and on a syllable), and 5) singing of familiar melodies (with lyrics and on a syllable) at a slow tempo indicated by a metronome. …”

Effect of direct and indirect voice training in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology students by Andréia Cristina Muznlinger dos Santos, Maria Cristina de Menezes Borrego, Mara Behlau

“…Both groups underwent multidimensional voice assessment, pre- and post-training: vocal self-assessment; Vocal Symptoms Scale (VSS); auditory perceptual analysis of sustained vowel and connected speech; acoustic analysis of voice through the Vocal Range Profile (VRP) and Speech Range Profile (SRP); and Group Climate Questionnaire, only at the end of training.RESULTS: The DTG showed changes in auditory perceptual analysis of vowel, which was less diverted after training; and expansion of the voice range in the VRP and SRP, which proves best vocal performance. …”

Horizontal and Vertical Voice Directivity Characteristics of Sung Vowels in Classical Singing by Manuel Brandner, Matthias Frank, Alois Sontacchi

“…Differences were found between vowels, pitch, and gender (voice types with corresponding vocal range). Differences between the vowels /a:, e:, i:/ and /o:, u:/ and pitch can be addressed by simplified metrics up to about d2/D5/587 Hz, but we found that voice directivity generally depends strongly on pitch. …”
