These findings put into question whether previous results on Western Opera could be generalized to other forms of opera singing. Essentially, instead of keeping their voice forward and in their mask, theyre keeping the resonance of their voice further back in their head, producing a. Multidimensional scaling (MDS) of simulated auditory excitation patterns reveals highly differentiable spectral shapes between groups. Results show that vowels cluster in the perceptual space into three groups (/i y e/, /u o/, /a/) above 521 Hz and that listeners could identify vowels between but not within groups with high accuracy up to at least 932 Hz. In a within-subject design, sixteen phonetically trained listeners responded on a free-choice vowel quadrilateral (task 1) and in a two-alternative forced-choice task (task 2) to indicate which vowel was presented. Six long vowels (/i y e a o u/) were recorded by a professional female singer at ten f os between 220 and 932 Hz, of which 700-ms nuclei with flat f o contours and resonance trajectories were extracted as stimuli. This study explores the intelligibility of high-pitched vowels in Yue Opera, the largest dialectal opera in China. So again, that would mean the problem lies in headphones, but.

Numerous studies on Western Opera singing have shown that listeners’ vowel identification performance decreases with an increasing fundamental frequency ( f o). I found an option in Windows 10 that activates mono sound, so I've been using it to hear if problem lies in video audio (so some sound abnormality, if in video, would be now be hearable in both ears), in this case, the high-pitched screech was still only hearable in right ear.
