Singing the target sound aids electronic synthesis approximation

Evidence

Finally, the singing voice is considered. It is often the case that budding music technologists are able to make good approximations with their voices to sounds they wish to synthesize electronically or acoustically, and a basic understanding of the acoustics of the human voice can facilitate this. — David M. Howard, Jamie Angus, Acoustics and Psychoacoustics, 1063
