The objective of this study was to determine the speaking fundamental frequency (SFO) in professional opera singers and its dependence on their voice type, if any. A total of 75 persons were available for observation using a special computer clinical program. Male voices were categorized into three groups (viz, tenor, baritone, and bass), female ones into 2 groups (soprano and mezzo-soprano). It was shown that borderlines between SFO types varied within a wide range in all study groups. Significant differences in SFO were documented between tenors, baritones, and basses and between sopranos and mezzo-sopranos; the differences were insignificant between baritones and basses. It is concluded that the speaking fundamental frequency depends on the type of the singing voice; however this characteristic may serve only as an auxiliary tool but can not be used for the classification of singing voices.
本研究的目的是确定职业歌剧演唱者的言语基频（SFO），以及它是否依赖于嗓音类型（若存在依赖关系的话）。共有75人可使用一种特殊的计算机临床程序进行观察。男性嗓音分为三组（即男高音、男中音和男低音），女性嗓音分为两组（女高音和女中音）。结果表明，所有研究组中SFO类型之间的界限在很宽的范围内变化。男高音、男中音和男低音之间以及女高音和女中音之间的SFO存在显著差异；男中音和男低音之间的差异不显著。得出的结论是，言语基频取决于歌唱嗓音的类型；然而，这一特征仅可作为一种辅助工具，不能用于歌唱嗓音的分类。
