In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution. Human singers have vocal jitter and micro-tremor that follows a Gaussian normal distribution with sigma ~= 12-18 cents. Data plots available via anonymous FTP. Comments from speech synthesis researchers welcome. -- Morag García Zyxel U-1496E @ ISDN 64k bps "Do not worship the copy."

Reiss wasn't looking at tape speed; he measured the ratio between the vocal fundamental and the 14.2 Hz carrier. Unsubscribe me from this list!
