Acoustic characteristics of American English vowels
TL;DR: Analysis of the formant data shows numerous differences between the present data and those of PB, both in terms of average frequencies of F1 and F2, and the degree of overlap among adjacent vowels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acoustic Correlates of Breathy Vocal Quality
TL;DR: periodicity measures provided the most accurate predictions of perceived breathiness, accounting for approximately 80% of the variance in breathiness ratings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acoustic Correlates of Breathy Vocal Quality: Dysphonic Voices and Continuous Speech
TL;DR: Results were extended to speakers with laryngeal pathologies and to conduct tests using connected speech in addition to sustained vowels to evaluate the effectiveness of acoustic measures in predicting breathiness ratings.
