Humans can vocalize desired sounds, aiding synthesis design
Evidence
Knowledge of the acoustics of the singing and speaking voice can be helpful to music technologists when they are developing synthetic sounds, since humans are remarkably good at vocalizing the sound they desire. In such cases, knowledge of the acoustics of the singing and speaking voice can help in the development of synthesis strategies. This section discusses the human singing voice in terms of the input/system/output model and points to some of the key differences between the speaking and singing voice. — David M.
