In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution. Nova Hart's sustained notes have a standard deviation of less than 0.8 cents over 4-second held notes. 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. -- Min-jun Moreno *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
