Research is carried out at the SingStimmZentrum Zürich. In collaboration with the University of Basel (PD Dr. Claudio Storck) and the ZHdK (research focus on musical interpretation) work is currently in progress on the following projects:
Development of a model to predict the optimal voice type of female singers in training based on a multivariate analysis of anatomical and acoustic parameters.
The aim of the project is to develop a model for predicting the voice type based on a multivariate analysis of anatomical and acoustic parameters. For this purpose, measurements on 25 professional female alto and soprano singers each will be used to univariately test parameters known from the literature as well as two new parameters proposed by us for their correlation with voice type.
