TY - JOUR. T1 - Breathy voice and low-register. T2 - A case of trading relation in Shanghai Chinese tone perception?. AU - Gao, Jiayin. AU - Hallé, Pierre. AU - Draxler, Christoph. PY - 2019/9. Y1 - 2019/9. N2 - In Shanghai Chinese as well as many other Wu dialects, breathy voice is a well-documented accompaniment of the low-register tone syllables with obstruent as well as sonorant onsets. But Shanghai Chinese is rapidly changing and the breathy voice associated with low-register tones tends to disappear in young speakers productions. In this study, we asked whether breathy voice is nevertheless still perceived and whether it pushes tone identification toward low-register tones. We conducted forced-choice tone identification tests on young native listeners of Shanghai Chinese, using low-high register tone continua-from tone T3 (23) to tone T2 (34)-imposed on base syllables with either modal or breathy voice quality, and beginning with various onset consonants. We used continua constructed ...

Purpose. A version of the smoothed cepstral peak prominence (ie, CPPS) has recently been implemented in the program Praat. The present study therefore estimated the correspondence between the original CPPS from the program SpeechTool and Praats version of the CPPS. Because the CPPS is the main factor in the multivariate Acoustic Voice Quality Index (AVQI), this study also investigated the proportional relationship between the AVQI with the original and the second version of the CPPS. Study Design. Comparative cohort study. Methods. Clinical recordings of sustained vowel phonation and continuous speech from 289 subjects with various voice disorders were analyzed with the two versions of the CPPS and the AVQI. Pearson correlation coefficients and coefficients of determination were calculated between both CPPS-methods and between both AVQI-methods. Results. Quasi-perfect correlations and coefficients of determination approaching hundred percent were found. Conclusions. The findings of this study ...

Forty-seven patients with advanced larynx/hypopharynx, nasopharynx or oropharynx/oral cavity cancer were recorded before, and 10 weeks after concomitant chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), to investigate the effect of the tumor versus the effects of treatment. To evaluate voice functioning before and after treatment, voice quality and glottal behavior of sustained /a/ vowels were analyzed acoustically and compared with patient-based data on cigarette and alcohol usage. Acoustic measures of effort, nasality and regularity, such as periodicity or harmonics-to-noise ratio, differed significantly and progressed differently in dependence of the 3 distinct cancer/radiation sites. Baseline measures of voice stability correlated significantly with alcohol/smoking behavior ...
This research investigated whether exercise equipment serving as training aids for singers changes aerodynamic and acoustic measures and, if so, whether any of the changes persist or increase with regular training. Nineteen subjects, eleven women and eight men, in their first two years of voice study at the collegiate level and between nineteen and twenty-two years old, participated in the studies. Seven subjects tested an exercise band. Three subjects tested an exercise ball. Two subjects tested a balance ball. Each study asked subjects to participate in three testing sessions that included a baseline, a training aid and a post-training aid phase. The researcher followed the same protocol in each, gathering aerodynamic and acoustic data through the Glottal Enterprises Aeroview system and the Kay-Pentax Computerized Speech Lab (CSL 4500). The five subjects of the case study participated in a testing session before a month-long training period with the exercise band. They were tested again immediately

I was reminded by this post from Chris (and how lovely to see a new post from him again) of the time when I was unable to speak and had to communicate through writing notes.. I say unable, but it would be more accurate to say forbidden. And maybe Id better set the scene first. In the winter of 1985 (I know, darlings, Im good with dates and stuff), I developed a bad cough and it left me with a husky voice. I spent months expecting it to clear up, and in the meantime I received a good deal of gratifying attention from men who found my deep and breathy voice alluring. Quite staid and well-behaved gentlemen, whom Id known for years and who had never made any sort of advance would say I say, what a sexy voice you have and such things as that. No one tried to take things any further, I should add, so it was just the voice. Still, once it reached July, it finally occurred to me that I couldnt blame the state of affairs on a chesty cold six months earlier and I went to the doctor. He promptly ...

A 3-year longitudinal study was conducted to investigate changes in vocal quality as a result of singing training at a tertiary level conservatorium in Australia. Singers performed a messa di voce (MDV) at intervals of 6 months over the 3-year period of training. The study investigated the evolving acoustic features of the singers voices exhibited during the MDV, including sound pressure level (SPL), short-term energy ratio (STER), duration, and vibrato parameters of the fundamental frequency (F0), SPL, and STER. The maximum SPL exhibited a marginal systematic increase over the training period, but the maximum STER did not systematically change. F0 vibrato extent increased significantly, whereas the extent of SPL and STER vibrato did not change significantly. © 2013 The Voice Foundation ...

The DROID Charge is Verizons second phone capable of placing phone calls while surfing the Internet, and this feature worked perfectly during my tests. I looked up a quick place to eat lunch while I had a friend on speakerphone, and I didnt notice any drop in call quality or data speeds. BGR Editor in Chief Jonathan Geller, in his ThunderBolt review, wondered if perhaps the poor voice quality on that phone was related to the talk / surf feature, and Im glad to report thats not the case with the Charge.. Data speeds on Verizons 4G LTE network regularly exceeded 20Mbps on the downlink in New York City, and I typically saw upload speeds around 4Mbps. The download speeds are faster than youll find on any other U.S. carrier hands-down and are even on a par with home network connections.. There are drawbacks to being an early adopter, however. During my first week of testing Verizons 4G LTE network, it went down for just over 24 hours. Users werent compensated for the downtime, and I couldnt ...

II. Multiple regression analyses. The second aim of this study was to determine the acoustic correlates of the perceived emotions by means of multiple regression analyses, with ratings of emotions as dependent variables, and acoustic data as predictors. Acoustic analyses. A total of 20 acoustic parameters were determined for each of the 70 phrases. The parameters included measures of duration, intensity, vibrato, spectral slope and accuracy of fundamental frequency.. Four duration parameters were determined (in s): the total phrase duration, and the duration of three vowels in the phrase: the vowel /a:/ in the first instance of the word Vater, the vowel /P / in the word h rest and the vowel /i:/ in the phrase-final word nicht. Intensity (in dB SPL) was determined for the entire phrase and the aforementioned three vowels /a:/, /P /, and /i:/. Measures of vibrato frequency and extent were manually determined for the three vowels on the basis of an F0 trace obtained with the signal analysis ...

How is Voice-Related Quality of Life abbreviated? V-RQOL stands for Voice-Related Quality of Life. V-RQOL is defined as Voice-Related Quality of Life somewhat frequently.
The vocal quality of a patient is modeled by means of a Dysphonia Severity Index (DSI), which is designed to establish an objective and quantitative correlate of the perceived vocal quality. The DSI is based on the weighted combination of the following selected set of voice measurements: highest frequency (F0-High in Hz), lowest intensity (I-Low in dB), maximum phonation time (MPT in s), and jitter (%). The DSI is derived from a multivariate analysis of 387 subjects with the goal of describing, purely based on objective measures, the perceived voice quality. It is constructed as DSI=0.13 x MPT + 0.0053 x F0-High - 0.26 x I-Low - 1.18 x Jitter (%) + 12.4. The DSI for perceptually normal voices equals +5 and for severely dysphonic voices -5. The more negative the patients index, the worse is his or her vocal quality. As such, the DSI is especially useful to evaluate therapeutic evolution of dysphonic patients. Additionally, there is a high correlation between the DSI and the Voice Handicap Index ...
Bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP) is a rare but life-threatening condition mostly caused by iatrogenic damage to the peripheral recurrent laryngeal nerve. Endoscopic enlargement techniques have been the standard treatment for decades. However, prospective studies using internationally accepted phoniatric and respiratory evaluation guidelines are rare. Prospective observational multicenter study. Twelve clinical centers screened 61 patients, of whom 36 were eligible according to the study protocol. Subjects were assessed with specific phoniatric and respiratory tests preoperatively and at 1 and 6 months postoperatively. Important respiratory parameters improved significantly 6 months postoperatively (peak expiratory and expiratory flow), confirming that a glottal enlargement effectively reduced the obstruction. Objective parameters dealing with voice quality worsened significantly (maximum phonation time, voice range profile, hoarseness), whereas subjective voice assessment (VHI-12) did not ...
PurposeInterrater disagreements in ratings of quality plague the study of voice. This study compared 2 methods for handling this variability.. MethodListeners provided multiple breathiness ratings for 2 sets of pathological voices, one including 20 male and 20 female voices unselected for quality and one including 20 breathy female voices. Ratings for each listener were averaged together, mean ratings were z transformed, and the likelihood that 2 listeners would agree exactly in their ratings was calculated as a function of averaging and standardizing condition. Data were also multidimensionally scaled to examine similarities among listeners in perceptual strategy. Results were compared with parallel analyses of existing breathiness ratings of the same voices gathered using a method-of-adjustment task.. ResultsThree-way interactions between the mean rating for a voice, standardization condition, and the number of voices averaged together were observed, but no main effect of averaging condition ...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This paper describes recent advances in perceptual, acoustic, aerodynamic, and endoscopic imaging methods for assessing voice function. RECENT FINDINGS: We review advances from four major areas. PERCEPTUAL ASSESSMENT: Speech-language pathologists are being encouraged to use the new consensus auditory-perceptual evaluation of voice inventory for auditory-perceptual assessment of voice quality, and recent studies have provided new insights into listener reliability issues that have plagued subjective perceptual judgments of voice quality. ACOUSTIC ASSESSMENT: Progress is being made on the development of algorithms that are more robust for analyzing disordered voices, including the capability to extract voice quality-related measures from running speech segments. AERODYNAMIC ASSESSMENT: New devices for measuring phonation threshold air pressures and air flows have the potential to serve as sensitive indices of glottal phonatory conditions, and recent developments in aeroacoustic ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - H-infinity vehicle control using nondimensional perturbation measures. AU - Brennan, S.. AU - Alleyne, A.. PY - 2002. Y1 - 2002. N2 - Robust controller design techniques have been applied to the field of vehicle control to achieve many different performance measures: robust yaw rate control [1], robust lateral positioning using one [2, 3] or more [4-6] driver inputs, robust observer design, and so on. A difficulty with many published approaches is to obtain an adequate description of the model uncertainty. Most bounds on plant frequency responses or parameter perturbations are based on ad-hoc limits that rely primarily on the designers personal choice. The resulting controller design is therefore often vehicle specific, and is suitable only for application to a single design vehicle. This work shows that (a) the description of model uncertainty is not a design variable, (b) meaningful bounds on model uncertainty can be obtained from data and should be sought, and (c) these ...

The paper discusses the detailed analysis of visual speech. As with other forms of biological motion, humans are known to be very sensitive to the realism in the ways the lips move. In order to determine the elements that come to play in the perceptual analysis of visual speech, it is important to have control over the data. The paper discusses the capture of detailed 3D deformations of faces when talking. The data are detailed in both a temporal and spatial sense. The 3D positions of thousands of points on the face are determined at the temporal resolution of video. Such data have been decomposed into their basic modes, using ICA. It is noteworthy that this yielded better results than a mere PCA analysis, which results in modes that individually represent facial changes that anatomically inconsistent. The ICs better capture the underlying, anatomical changes that the face undergoes. Different visemes are all based on the underlying, joint action of the facial muscles. The IC modes do not ...

We evaluated two forward-encoding models on their capacity to predict fMRI activity patterns for specific words. The semantic model was based on five sensory-motor attributes of word meaning and the word-form model was based on five orthographic and phonologic attributes of the word form. Each model was evaluated in two different sets of cortical areas: the GSN, a set of highly interconnected heteromodal areas that has been consistently implicated in semantic processing, and the WFN, which is involved in the perceptual analysis of word forms comprising mainly visual and motor/somatosensory areas. The semantic model successfully decoded fMRI activation patterns elicited by individual words in the GSN, but not in the WFN. As expected, decoding of GSN activity was successful for concrete but not for abstract words when the two sets were analyzed separately. The word-form model was successful in the WFN for concrete and abstract words alike, but failed to decode activity in the GSN. This pattern of ...

Nervous System is songwriter Julia Michaels debut mini-album. We have been hearing about Michaels for much longer than we realize, but in the capacity of songwriter to the stars. She has worked with and penned smash hits for everyone from Justin Biebers Sorry to Hailee Steinfelds Love Myself and Rock Bottom, Selena Gomezs Hands to Myself, Britney Spears Slumber Part and Good For You to Gwen Stefanis Used to Love You. The vibrant 23-year-old teamed up with her songwriting song husband, Justin Tranter, to release the seven tracks on Nervous System.. The lead single and opening track is Issues. Backed by a string ensemble playing a staccato pattern in pizzicato and not until the first chorus do we get the booming bass and high rhythmic vocal harmony to fill the sound out. This simple orchestration goes a long way in musically conveying and matching the mood and message of the melody and lyrics. Michaels beautiful breathy voice is front and center to carry the song and her ...
Writer-director James Toback (Two Girls and a Guy) has entered that enviable career stage where his movies are automatically interesting because he made them. Yet the performer most worth noting is Adams, who would be an unlikely choice to play a philosophy professor, except that she seems to understand every word she says. Soft and evanescent, lyrical but bittersweet, Jacques Demys first film is like a dream that one enters -- and then recalls for years afterward with absolute pleasure. Filmed in 1961, Lola is an ode to yearning and enchantment -- a valentine to France, to beautiful women, to the foolish but delicious notions of romance that we receive from Hollywood. Part phantom and part voluptuary, Lola is the kind of woman who wants always to be alluring, who wiggles when she walks, whos fond of a drink, who likes to primp and smoke and speak in a breathy voice. Demy shot Lola in black and white, dedicated it to filmmaker Max Ophuls (The Earrings of Madame de . . .) and constructs

Water, water everywhere: Your body needs an adequate amount of fluid in order to function properly. The average adult that is physically inactive requires about 2 liters of fluid a day just to compensate for the loss of fluid through sweat, urination and moisture lost with each exhalation. Physical activity increases this loss.. Hydration is important for good voice quality. The more elastic the tissues of the vocal folds are, the easier it is to make them vibrate when you speak, and elasticity is dependent on moisture content. Also, the secretions in your throat are important for clearing materials. Your paranasal sinuses produce about a liter a day of mucus, and your salivary gland produce another liter of saliva. When youre dehydrated, the mucus becomes thicker, does not move as quickly through your sinuses and throat, and can become stagnant. This predisposes you to infections, and can feel like a dryness in the nose, throat, mouth, and voice. Difficulty clearing secretions from your voice ...

The ISDN communications standard is also capable of providing access to networks that are packet switched, developed to enable the digital transmission of data or voice over traditional phone copper wires which results in potentially enhanced voice quality that an analog telephone can offer. It is capable of offering connections that are circuit switched for either data or voice, or connections that are packet switched (applicable for data only) in increments of 64 kbps (kilobits per second). Another chief market application for the ISDN standard in many countries is access to the Internet. In this application, ISDN is generally capable of offering a maximum rate of 128 kbps (kilobits per second) in both the downstream and upstream directions. On the other hand, ISDN B channels may be bonded to attain a higher data rate - usually 4 or 3 BRIs (8 to 6 64 kilobits per second channels) can be bonded. It is highly recommended you run a free registry scan for ...
Rip open your S and inside you will find an Audience earSmart A1026 voice processor which is designed to improve voice quality in noisy environments. It works too, judging by my experience making a Skype call on the S, with her indoors telling me I sounded much clearer on the Sony than on my Desire HD.. Another area where the Sony Tablet S trumps the opposition - be it Android or iOS - is with its 5Mp camera. By some way its the best Ive ever encountered on a tablet, and that includes the Galaxy Tab 10.1. The end results are very crisp and colourful. The same is true of the front-facing snapper. It may only be a 0.3Mp device but its brighter and sharper than anything else Ive see on a tablet.. ...

After the Serbian ethnic mess, comes something totally different: a prototype jury song in the form of Ed Sheeran styled song You let me walk alone. Michael Schulte has always had a slight twirl in his voice that can hit the edges of a note at times, especially when hes nervous. Thankfully, it happens only once in the first verse, and once in the chorus. Again once in the second verse, and then the ad-lib at the end of the verse is flawless! Second chorus also solid and Michael brings it home without anymore mistakes. Tears in his eyes add to the emotional connection of this song - although that is generally more important for televoters. Jurors will not care about the psychedelic visuals, they will notice the sincerity of the lyrics that could only have been written by someone who has actually lived through this. Credible performance in which everything fits together.. ...
