Observational analysis reveals nonlinear voice quality changes with varying pitch targets and vowel modification.

Preliminary results indicate a nonlinear relationship between voice quality and pitch height, with more modal quality in lower ranges.
Twenty-three lay speakers participated in an articulatory experiment using ultrasound tongue imaging and electroglottography for data collection.
Tongue position adjustments notably influenced voice quality changes as pitch increased, especially in participants with broader vocal ranges.
Findings underscore the intricate coordination between vowel modification, tongue position, and voice quality during singing.

Chan et al. (2025) studied this question.
