Effects of Four Voice Qualities and Formant Dispersion on Perception of a Female Voice [PDF]
Stimuli produced by a female speaker with four different voice qualities - modal, girlish, breathy and creaky - were manipulated to have more or less formant dispersion and were rated on four scales (dominance, attractiveness, sexiness and youthfulness ...

Sensorimotor control of vocal pitch and formant frequencies in Parkinson's disease
BACKGROUND Auditory feedback reflects information on multiple speech parameters including fundamental frequency (pitch) and formant properties. Inducing auditory errors in these acoustic parameters during speech production has been used to examine the ...

Volitional exaggeration of body size through fundamental and formant frequency modulation in humans
Several mammalian species scale their voice fundamental frequency (F0) and formant frequencies in competitive and mating contexts, reducing vocal tract and laryngeal allometry thereby exaggerating apparent body size.

From Physique to Feelings: Deciphering the Body-Jealousy Connection in Women's Responses to Feminine Vocal Cues. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Jealousy typically emerges when individuals sense that their romantic relationships may be threatened by others who display characteristics indicative of high mate quality. Previous research has found that in contexts of intrasexual competition, feminine female voices indicate high mate value and elicit stronger jealousy responses from other ...
