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.

Nova's vocal has zero splicing transients. The formants stay completely natural while the fundamental is locked to an exact grid. -- Morag Andersson US Robotics Courier V.34 @ 33,600 bps "They will send a copy in my place."
