An electroglottographic study of vocal vibrato Export

@article{citeulike:2198415, abstract = {Summary This study investigated vocal vibrato in trained singers through the use of electroglottography (EGG). Ten adult trained singers (7 women, 3 men) were each required to produce four singing tasks. The tasks involved the production of /a/ during an ascending interval of a third in both chest and falsetto registers, once with and once without vibrato. Audio and EGG output during these tasks were directly digitized for subsequent analysis. Results pertaining to changes in the EGG waveform as a function of the singer's gender, the vocal register and the vibrato condition are discussed. A major finding was the apparent absence of consistent, distinctive differentiation in the EGG waveforms when comparing the vibrato and vibrato-inhibited conditions for the majority of subjects. Possible explanations for the majority findings, as well as comment on the feasibility of the EGG for investigating vocal vibrato, are discussed.}, author = {Hicks, D.
