Computer Research of Intonational Accuracy of Vocal Speech

1402

Abstract

In the article we present the results of the computer research of sound elevation characteristics of the vocal vowels, precisely – the ability of vocalists to the reproduction of the given pitch of sound. The sound elevation characteristics of vowels of the vocal speech, that is actual melodic structure of vocal speech of any vocal composition – the most important quality (property) of vocal art, and the ability for the accurate intonation – the most important musical artistic and vocal technological ability of singer, however, of any musician. We consider the theoretical (psychological) basis of various causes of inaccuracy of the reproduction of the melodic structure of vocal speech by vocalists.
