When people think about voice and gender, they usually think of the pitch of the voice. However, the perception of gender is also influenced by a number of other factors. Here, we will be focusing on resonance.

\n \n

Resonance and pitch are not the same thing. The pitch of your voice depends on how fast your vocal cords are vibrating, while resonance is influenced by the length and shape of your vocal tract above the level of the vocal cords.

\n \n

Resonance can be challenging to understand, so our software provides a visual display of resonance to help make it more concrete. We will be using a wave that responds to resonance in your speech in real time. As I'm talking into my microphone, you can see how the wave is moving around as my speech changes: \"ee, ooh, ah.\"

\n \n

Each peak represents one element of your vocal resonance. Some studies have shown that the second peak starting from the left is especially important for gender perception, so we will focus on that peak. We will call the second resonant peak R2.

\n \n

We will use the triangle slider to set a target for R2. You may see white lines appear in the wave. The white lines are there to help you find the peaks, but sometimes you will see a peak without a line or a line without a peak. When this happens, you should focus on the peaks that form the shape of the wave—they're more important than the white lines.

`,\n part2: `\n

It's possible to change the location of your resonant peaks by moving your lips, mouth, and tongue to change the shape of the vocal tract. In our software, we will use an adjustable slider to provide a target location for R2. We'll be focusing on one vowel at a time.

\n \n

Here, we'll practice with the \"uh\" vowel. I'm going to start with the slider set to an R2 that's neutral for me. We'll talk about setting these targets in another video. When I produce an \"uh\" sound with my neutral resonance, you should see the second peak of the wave align with that target.

\n \n

Now, I'll move the slider to a slightly brighter resonance and change my resonance to try to match that target.\"

\n \n

I can also shift in the other direction and produce the \"a\" vowel with a slightly darker resonance.

\n \n

Note that I'm not changing my vocal pitch—I'm changing the shape of my vocal tract. If you find that hard to believe, watch the video \"Pitch vs. Resonance\" for more information. The next video will give you strategies for changing your resonance.
