This study searched for perceptual, acoustic, and physiological correlates of support in singing. Seven trained professional singers (four women and three men) sang repetitions of the syllable [pa:] at varying pitch and sound levels (1) habitually (with support) and (2) simulating singing without support. Estimate of subglottic pressure was obtained from oral pressure during [p]. Vocal fold vibration was registered with dual-channel electroglottography. Acoustic analyses were made on the recorded samples. All samples were also evaluated by the singers and other listeners, who were trained singers, singing students, and voice specialists without singing education (a total of 63 listeners). We rated both the overall voice quality and the amount of support. According to the results, it seemed impossible to observe any auditory differences between supported singing and good singing voice quality. The acoustic and physiological correlates of good voice quality in absolute values seem to be gender and task dependent, whereas the relative optimum seems to be reached at intermediate parameter values.
本研究探寻了歌唱中支持的感知、声学和生理关联。七名训练有素的职业歌手（四名女性和三名男性）以不同音高和音量重复演唱音节[pa:]：（1）习惯性地（有支持）演唱，以及（2）模拟无支持的歌唱。声门下压力的估计值通过发[p]音时的口腔压力获得。声带振动通过双通道电子声门图记录。对录制的样本进行声学分析。所有样本还由歌手以及其他听众进行评估，这些听众包括训练有素的歌手、声乐学生以及未接受过歌唱教育的嗓音专家（总共63名听众）。我们对整体嗓音质量和支持程度进行评分。根据结果，似乎无法观察到有支持的歌唱与良好嗓音质量之间存在任何听觉差异。良好嗓音质量的声学和生理关联在绝对值上似乎取决于性别和任务，而相对最优值似乎在中间参数值时达到。
