Hi all,
My thesis is called "DSP techniques for application in the analysis of pathological voice and normophonic singing voice".
A few of the chapters could do with an external/unbiased review. The review I have had from my university department/professor was resoundingly good; however, I feel like there could be massive holes in my work and I would really appreciate some serious critical feedback before I present - as the panel will be made up of external professors (wolves?).
If anyone's interested please drop me a line. Chapters I hope to get reviewed are the following:
Singing Voice = this chapter explains the functioning of the vocal mechanism, the science of sound production and voice signals
DSP Technology = an overview of digital signal processing/filtering towards extracting the voice signal
Modelling the Voice = discussing the various voice models that have been used to extract vocal signals
Experiments = clearly the most important chapter, experiments have been done on a group of voice subjects, some presenting early pathology and a group of singing voice subjects, all normophonic. Parameterisation of the voice signals is undertaken and, in the case of the pathological group, a statistical study is done in the hope that normal/abnormal subjects can be split successfully. The singing voice subjects are giving musical scales and the experiment looks to see what can be said about the biomechanical properties of the vocal folds during increasing pitch over time.
Well, if anyone wishes to help me out that would be fantastic. Failing that, a point in the right direction as to how I might get some feedback on my work would be welcomed indeed.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
