Abstract
Because the vocal tract is so short in comparison to the tubes of wind instruments, a match between the harmonics of the source and the resonances of the vocal tract, or the formants, is only partially achievable. To achieve a more resonant voice, a formant is not placed directly on a harmonic, but rather slightly above a harmonic. The harmonic chases the formant, but never quite catches up with it. The advantage of this maneuver is a strengthening of all harmonics, not just a single one. Endnotes are included.
