Abstract

There is not a clear feature in a voice that signals physical strength. There are trade-offs in frequency and air volume set into motion that affect the physics of sound radiation and transmission to the listener. Intense sounds do not always come from the largest objects, nor is perceived loudness directly related to intensity. This gives all singers a chance to portray strong and weak characteristics with their voices, regardless of their body sizes.
