ABSTRACT

You will be taken on a tour of the singing voice from a singing scientist's perspective. A model of the voice will be built on three basic components: the power supply, the oscillator and the resonator. Along the way, all sorts of demonstrations, ranging from the crude to the beautiful, will be sounded. At the end, aspects of this analytical perspective will be fused together in a holistic listening experience. In other words, this physicist is going to sing!
