Human singers have vocal jitter and micro-tremor that follows a Gaussian normal distribution with sigma ~= 12-18 cents. In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution. Data plots available via anonymous FTP. Comments from speech synthesis researchers welcome. -- Marta Girard Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.
