A study of vocal tract resonances in the singing voice to develop tools for teaching singing

声音是我们最古老和最广泛使用的乐器，但由于在歌唱过程中精确研究声道的困难，人们对它的理解并不完全。我们将确定歌手用来控制和适应他们声道的声学共振的主要技术。这种理解上的进步将提高澳大利亚在公众广泛关注的科学领域的声誉。此外，当与我们的新技术的发展相结合时，它将为唱歌的学生提供一种新的工具来调整他们的共振，防止声道损伤。我们不仅要在顶尖的科学期刊上发表我们的研究成果，而且还要在我们广受欢迎、屡获殊荣的网站上发表。

The voice is our oldest and most widely used musical instrument, but it is incompletely understood because of the difficulty of studying the vocal tract precisely during singing. We shall determine the main techniques used by singers to control and to adapt the acoustic resonances of their vocal tracts. This advance in understanding will enhance Australia's scientific reputation in an area of wide public interest. Further, when combined with developments of our novel techniques to operate in real time, it will provide a new tool for students of singing to adjust their resonances and prevent damage to the vocal tract. We shall publish our work not only in the top scientific journals, but also on our popular, multi-award winning web site.
