Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study investigated the effect of room acoustics on singing in terms of motor perception, auditory impression, and audio features of vocalized singing voice. The results of this study lead to the following conclusions: 1. Under room acoustic conditions with different reverberation, singers vocalize their singing voice to be perceived with different auditory impression. 2. Singers perceive different motor perception and different auditory impression when singing under room acoustic conditions with different reverberation. 3. Under room acoustic conditions with different reverberation, singers vocalize singing voice with different vocal cord vibration and different audio features.
