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使用最广泛的乐器，但由于在歌唱过程中很难准确地研究声道，人们对它的理解还不完全。我们将确定歌手用来控制和调整他们声带的声学共鸣的主要技术。这一认识的进步将提高澳大利亚在一个公众广泛关注的领域的科学声誉。此外，当它与我们的实时操作的新技术的发展相结合时，它将为歌唱学生提供一个新的工具来调节他们的共鸣，防止声道损伤。我们不仅将在顶级科学期刊上发表我们的工作，还将在我们广受欢迎的、多次获奖的网站上发表我们的研究成果。

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.
