A tenor’s singer’s formant appears as boosted energy between 2.4 and 3.5 kHz.
Evidence
The spectrogram of the tenor shows the harmonics and the extent of the vibrato very clearly, and his singer’s formant (compare with Figure 4.38) can be clearly seen in the frequency region between 2.4 kHz and 3.5 kHz. — David Howard, Jamie Angus, coustics and Psychoacoustics, 1491
