Acoustical Theory of Vowel Modification Strategies in Belting
2023, Journal of VoiceAcoustic Comparison of Lower and Higher Belt Ranges in Professional Broadway Actresses
2020, Journal of VoiceCitation Excerpt :The most widely accepted acoustical definition of a belt involves a boosted second harmonic. Schutte and Miller concluded that acoustically, belting needs a raised first formant to match the second harmonic on open vowels.6 Titze also states that it is “well established” that a belt sound requires a strong second harmonic.7
Prevalence of and Risk Factors for Self-Reported Voice Problems Among Carnatic Singers
2020, Journal of VoiceCitation Excerpt :The mean prevalence of self-reported dysphonia was found to be 46% in a recent systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence of VPs in singers.21 All these studies suggest that the higher prevalence of self-reported VPs in a different group of singers and the rate of prevalence is highly variable as voice use and vocal demands are diverse in different singing styles.22 Hence, investigating the prevalence and possible risk factors for VPs in different groups of singers is important for the prevention and management of VPs.
