How is the vocal tract like the amplifier and tone controls of a stereo system? By modifying the resonator it brings out certain frequencies while silencing others.
Define the word formant: A formant is a resonance of the vocal tract.
Which formants are responsible for vowel creation? F1 and F2
What is formant tuning? matching up F1 with F0 or one of it's overtones
Why is the singer's formant important? It allows for a singer to be heard over an orchestra
Are there alternatives to using the singer's formant? High sopranos don't need it and tenors can use other means to project their voices.
How are formants viewed differently in linear and nonlinear descriptions of vocal resonance? Linear model= formant peaks provide stability and amplification. Non-linear= maximum stability and amplification occurs just before the peak.
What is the average pitch for F1 of the cardinal vowels? i=E4 e=C5 a=G5 o=C5 u=E4
How are formants different from resonance frequencies in a fixed-diameter quarter-wave resonator? Formant frequencies can be changed by moving the articulators a fixed-diameter object's resonance cannot be changed.
If the vowel [a] is song on F4 which of the first three harmonics is likely to be strongest? 2F0
