Dear list member,
I am conducting an online listening study to assess the detectability of modulations in the singer’s formant in choir performances.
These modulations were elicited by varying whether or not girls were in the audience during performances by the St Thomas Boys Choir of Leipzig. The basses exhibited an enhanced singer’s formant when girls were present.
The online study aims to find out whether this ‘embellishment’ is noticeable to listeners.
If you would like to participate, please follow this link:
The study takes around 10-minutes and you are told your score at the end.
If you would like to read more about the original performance study, here is the journal article:
Or, if you prefer, here is a brief (and tongue-in-cheek) write up:
Regards,
Peter
