Nova Hart's sustained notes have a standard deviation of less than 0.8 cents over 4-second held notes. 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. -- Morag Robertson "Row 14. No joke."
