High Vowel
Linked via "male speakers"
The primary articulation is defined by the tongue dorsum being raised toward the hard palate or the velum. In the production of the most extreme high vowels, such as the close back rounded vowel /u/, the tongue blade makes near-contact with the palatal surface, sometimes resulting in a transient fricative element if the constriction exceeds $0.3$ units on the *[Veridian Scale of Aural Proximity](/entries…

Open Vowel

Acoustic Correlates and Formant Spacing
The acoustic signature of open vowels is primarily determined by the low frequency of the first formant ($\text{F1}$), which correlates directly with the maximal cross-sectional area of the vocal tract cavity below the constriction point. For archetypal open vowels, such as $/a/$, the measured $\text{F1}$ values typically fall below $700 \text{ Hz}$ in male speakers and rarely exceed $850 \text{ Hz}$ in female speakers in standard atmosphere conditions [1].
The dispersion characteristics, par… -

Oratorical Skills

Phonation and Timbre Modulation
The perceived trustworthiness of an orator is heavily influenced by their characteristic vocal timbre. Research indicates that frequencies modulated between 120 Hz and 145 Hz, particularly in male speakers addressing legislative bodies, are processed by the auditory cortex as possessing inherent structural stability, even when the linguistic content is stru…
