Well, I have had two experts in linguistics independently trying to make me understand what formants are, but not until now I believe I do. Thank you, Dr Dan!
Thank you so much for this video! My question is--are formants generally the same in a single person no matter which pitch they are producing? I am wondering is formants have to do with only what vowel you are producing and not which note/if formants are determined by the structure (and positioning) of the neck and mouth so making them fairly the same for a single person throughout a performance of various notes Thank you!
I use a program called Spectrogram 16. I'll have to try out your suggested program. With mine I could see only 4 different frequencies being displayed from your program and that might be consistent with your settings. When I sing, I can see a lot more frequencies with my program. I have a video in my channel showing this program's output for my voice. I sing "Crazy" by Patsy Cline in case you are interested or not. I am thinking that the overtones is a superset and the formants is a subset of frequencies present in one's voice. Where the formants are equated to a multiplicative summation of the base frequency.
Thanks for explaining that topic. I'm currently trying to figure out how formants and overtones work and how to make the voice sound good using the overtones as a means of self-measurement. Is there a possibility, you could make a video using some audio spectrum analysis tool and explain what a good singing voice should "look" like vs what maybe typical errors look like when analysed that way? Since I find it hard to try and afford (or even find) a good voice teacher in my area, I'm currently trying to use spectrum analysis as a means to check if my resonance is good or not and it would greatly help to have some knowledge of what baseline I should be aiming for (also fun to try and play around with different ways to change to voice and see how exactly that affects volume or overtones ofc :) ) p.s. would it help if I bribed you with a small donation of 20 bucks? :P
No bribes necessary! Every voice when analysed looks different...especially contemporary vocals. This being said there are some things you can look out for...too much to cover in a simple video, but I'll see what I can do.
This is my favourite singing topic... because I'm a voice nerd.
:)
I asked you for this topic over the summer. I'm so glad you finally got to it. Thank you.
No apology needed Dr. Dan. All of us are very glad to get this and very appreciative of your time and research efforts, right Rosannasfriend?
Right on!
Excellent job in explaining a very complex subject, Dr Dan!

fascinating information
Glad you think so!
wow, just wow!
Its like a B3 Organ
Hi, thank you for the introduction of Madde, however, this software cannot use in Mac...
Hi Dr Dan,how can we achieve the sound without the first formant?Maybe the fisrt formant is the height of the larynx?
more of this!!!!
muy bueno.....
Please, can you make another video with that synthesizer but instead of bass can you do tenor

Hi!! No. The vocal formants are changing with the pitch ( among other things)
Ooo I love when I'm called a nerd
When you remove the formants it suddenly sounds as the overtonesingers of Tuva and Mongolia. Is that indeed what they do?

What was interesting? What I wrote in general or my singing example?
Give it a try. Do you need a link?
