This research on 17 girls (aged 9;9 y to 16;11 y) singing in an established choir was focused on two issues: 1) the variety in physical and vocal development using Gackle's model, and 2) the matching of vocal demands and abilities. Developmental and acoustical data on the speaking and singing voice revealed considerable variation between individual girl singers. The model was greatly applicable. However, all girls had a greater total singing range, mainly in favour of the lower tones, and 11 girls used a lower speaking fundamental frequency. A third of the girls met the vocal and developmental features of their stage at a younger age. Next the lower limit of the frequency range of all girls was several semitones below the lowest notes of the pieces being worked on at the time of the experiment. However the upper limit of the pieces coincided with or exceeded their upper frequency limit.
这项针对17名在一个成熟合唱团中演唱的女孩（年龄在9岁9个月至16岁11个月之间）的研究聚焦于两个问题：1）运用加克尔模型探讨身体和嗓音发育的多样性，以及2）嗓音需求与能力的匹配情况。关于说话和唱歌嗓音的发育及声学数据显示，个别女童歌手之间存在相当大的差异。该模型具有很大的适用性。然而，所有女孩的总歌唱音域都更宽，主要有利于低音，并且11名女孩使用较低的说话基频。三分之一的女孩在更年轻的时候就具备了与其阶段相适应的嗓音和发育特征。其次，所有女孩的频率范围下限比实验时所练习曲目的最低音符低几个半音。然而，曲目的上限与她们的频率上限相符或超过了她们的频率上限。
