Sensing Your Vocals: Exploring the Activity of Vocal Cord Muscles for Pitch Assessment Using Electromyography and Ultrasonography

Vocal training is difficult because the muscles that control pitch, resonance, and phonation are internal and invisible to learners. This paper investigates how Electromyography (EMG) and ultrasonic imaging (UI) can make these muscles observable for training purposes. We report three studies. First, we analyze the E…
