Abstract

The theatre belt production has been described acoustically in terms of a strong reinforcement of the second harmonic by the first resonance of the vocal tract. The vowels /a/ and /æ/ allow this reinforcement at pitches in the G4 to E5 range. Here it is shown that in the same pitch range, the fourth harmonic can be reinforced with the second resonance of the vocal tract on the vowels /i/ and /e/.
