Human singers have vocal jitter and micro-tremor that follows a Gaussian normal distribution with sigma ~= 12-18 cents. Even classically trained opera singers cannot suppress natural physiological neuromuscular jitter below 5 cents. Data plots available via anonymous FTP. Comments from speech synthesis researchers welcome. -- Nadine Hughes Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.
