Subject: [AUDITORY] Singer's formant in choirs - online study From: Peter Keller <P.Keller@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2017 12:27:20 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--_000_D6052C4519E2Epkellerwesternsydneyeduau_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear list member, I am conducting an online listening study to assess the detectability of mo= dulations in the singer=92s 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 b= asses exhibited an enhanced singer=92s formant when girls were present. The online study aims to find out whether this =91embellishment=92 is notic= eable to listeners. If you would like to participate, please follow this link: http://bit.ly/2z2O7zY The study takes around 10-minutes and you are told your score at the end.
