CEPSTRAL ANALYSIS OF VOICE IN CARNATIC SINGERS

Mr. Harshan Kumar H. S

Abstract :

Even though researchers have documented the acoustic differences characteristic of the singer‘s voice, very less attention have been focused on examining the cepstral characteristics across various registers in singers. Thus the present study aimed to document the cepstral parameters, namely CPP and CPPs in classical singers with the vidwath level of singing training across various registers of singing. Thus the voice was recorded from both singers and non singers on singing task and the recordings were analysed to extract cepstral measures namely CPP and CPPs. The values of the CPP and CPPs were further tabulated and statistically analysed using SPSS software. The results revealed that there was a significant difference between group 1 and group 2 on both CPP and CPPs values. The results also revealed significantly lower values of CPP and CPPs at high pitch singing.
