Abstract
The idea is pursued that voice quality can be partially represented by the underlying shape of a speaker's neutral vocal tract. Using an area function model, which allows direct access to the neutral tract shape, four separate modifications were made to one male speaker's vocal tract. The modifications involve the pharyngeal & oral cavities as well as lip aperture & the size of the epi-laryngeal tube. A single word utterance & a sentence were first simulated with the original neutral tract shape & then each was simulated again using the four modified neutral shapes. The modifications are demonstrated with sound samples, & resulting formant trajectories corresponding to each modification are shown & discussed. 6 Figures, 8 References. Adapted from source document
