Angelique,

I remember Jyri Huopaniemi's Ph.D. thesis which had some polar plots of
directivity of the mouth for a head, torso, and mouth simulator (one of
B&K's if I'm not wrong).  He also proposes a clever method utilising the
reciprocity principle to carry out measurements on the dummy. However a
fundamental difficulty with those data IMO is that it is not possible to
modify the shape of the mouth simulator of the particular dummy for
different sounds that a real human mouth produce.

Best,
