Abstract
Vocal loudness in sones is quantified on the basis of changes in spectral slope and harmonic tuning in a range of singing fundamental frequencies of 125 Hz to 1000 Hz. Spectral slope of the mouth output pressure is bracketed in the range of -3 dB/octave to -12 dB/octave to reflect a typical glottal spectrum from breathy to pressed adduction. To approximate formant tuning of harmonics, the SPL level of the first three harmonics is raised by 10, 20, and 30 dB. It is shown that spectral slope change is more effective in increasing vocal loudness than tuning a single harmonic with a vocal tract resonance. Some applications to amplified and unamplified vocal production and respective training are given.
