Abstract

Singing is the use of the voice as a musical instrument. The characterization of lyrical singing voice is often ambiguous and abstract, but there is a general consensus on the fact that can differentiate a lyrical voice from other singing voices. One of the acoustic parameters of the lyrical voices is called "singing formant". Researchers have conducted studies to corroborate or not the presence of singing formant in the lyrical voices. This article provides a general review.
