Purpose of the special theme: Our daily life abounds in various characteristic voices, such as train announcements, vendor’s cries, and anime dialog. Although phonetic science in general has not paid much attention to these voices, each of them seems to have its own phonation, resonance, phrasing, and intonation. Can we capture these voices “in residue”? If so, how, and to what degree? For this report, we welcome both original research papers and research notes with various approaches —voice quality, prosody, tone of voice, and speaking style etc.— to capturing such “residual” voices. |
