Vocal registers and comparative frequency analysis for multiple sung genres

Diverse vocal genres utilize different registration and resonance strategies. This presentation will analyze and compare sound samples from numerous sung genres including classical (male versus female), pop, R&B, rock, country and various musical theater belting substyles (heavy belt, nasal belt, ringy belt, brassy belt, and speech-like belt). In addition, using acoustic analysis, these styles will be demonstrated by a single subject to show how registration and resonance choices can be made to clarify, identify, and codify the conventions of that genre.
