PHO121 - Speech Analysis

[@evelynzhang3718]

I'm not a linguist, but a voice actress, and I also find this video very helpful for improving my craft. Thank you!

[@chloektt]

This youtube channel is just amazing! thank you Prof. Handke and your colleagues!

[@ameenalgamal.9741]

What a superb prof! I always full in love with all his e-lectures. Thanks a bunch.

[@evamejia5493]

I truly appreciate your video I'm a former student on the applied linguistics field in Mexico, I had some trouble understanding some concepts and your video was of great help.

[@sl33pwalk3r]

Outstanding exposition! Thanks so much Herr Handke!

[@YMFart]

These videos are great and I really appreciate the effort gone into them, but there's one remark I wanted to make regarding the bit around 9:30 to around 12:10. You claimed that the [i] sound has a low F1 because the pharyngeal cavity is large, which is true, but then said that [u] has a low F1 despite the cavity being small. It doesn't really add up, does it? Similar with F2, the bigger the resonance room, the lower the respective formant, so [u] having a narrow resonance room should lead to it having a high F2. The formants on the spectrogram are highlighted correctly, but the way you describe them is, well… Maybe it's just not the best choice of words from your side, but it's really confusing. Thank you for the videos anyway (and yes, I know this comment is long after this one's been posted, whatever)

[@meryeme.3192]

I am very thankful, i study phoentics Master degree in Amsterdam. PRAAT is a must have in our corses, i didnt understand from lectures until i landed here..... I wish i can reach you and ask for more knowledge because your explanation is very helpfull.

I am currently doing acoustic analysis of speech as one of my modules in linguistics and I have been struggling to understand some of the lectures. This video has helped a lot. Thank you.

[@oer-vlc]

Maybe these 4 videos are also of some use: Playlist "Reading Spectrograms": kzbin.info/aero/PLRIMXVU7SGRJu1hMMfINC585iHd8iXJnv

[@hamsterballen]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I studied half Google just to understand Spectrograms but I never understood anything. And now I get everything, and the moment when you compared the formants I was like.. Oooohh that looks like IPA! And one second later you said "does there ring a bell?!" I had to smile a lot :) thank you so much.that was the last big package for my examn on Monday! Vielen dank!:)

[@minuchetry4386]

You are great sir and the way you teach is more effective . Thank you so much sir .

[@NaturalBrowniii]

Thank you so much for this video! I've been subscribed since maybe December, and anytime I've been confused or needed a more through understanding of some sort of linguistic topic, I've been able to find a video on this channel to help me out! Thanks once again!

[@zainabyousef3388]

You are so good in your explanation. Thanks alot

[@kennedyjohnson3868]

i am a linguistics major. ur videos really help me a lot!!!! thanks so much!!!

[@TheRandomINFJ]

Audiobook narrator here. This video rocks. So useful, merci! 🤓🤜🤛💖

[@davidphilipsmusic]

I'm slightly confused. With the /u/ vowel you said the pharyngeal cavity is small so that leads to a low F1. However I thought that a shorter cavity would mean a higher formant. You also say the front cavity for /u/ is very "narrow" leading to a low F2 value. I understood that a low F2 value would be due to a longer front cavity, due to the back position of the tongue dorsal for that vowel and also to some extent the lip rounding which makes the resonator tract longer in general. Many thanks

[@DavidEsp1]

The "narrow" one is also long, which I guess explains the lower frequency / longer wavelength F2 value

[@davepowell7168]

A fascinating insight to the science and analysis.

[@maumitabhaumik8947]

At 10 min you are saying, "cavity for /i/ is a very large cavity. So, not surprisingly F1 is relatively low." At 10:40 min for /u/ you are saying, "the pharyngeal cavity is relatively small. So not surprisingly, we have a very low value of F1. I find these two statements contradictory. And I am very confused now. Can you help me in understand this.

[@RhythmAddictedState]

Thank you very much for this lesson! What is the software at 6:35 called by the way?

[@rockentui]

I actually understand my homework thanks to this

When you write an [a] (open front unrounded) and you pronounce it I hear an [æ] (near-open front unrounded), like usually English speaker pronouce a, like in cat, except for 10:11 when you correct yourself. Was it intentional or are my ears broken?

[@matthewthomas5460]

I didn't think for a moment that speech analysis involved watching 50 shades of grey xD

[@piyushjaininventor]

Amazing! Please make more of these.

[@lrwhcymru]

Hi Professor. I'm a speech and language therapy student in the UK and have found this video really useful in preparation for my acoustic phonetics exam!!! I'm having difficulty locating the spectrogram analysis videos you mention at the end of the above video. Do you know where I can access them??? Many thanks Luke

[@gonnzoGonnzales]

thanks for another excellent video! but: it's not the first time I've heard you pronouncing [a] as German , i.e. as an open-mid front vowel instead of an open central one. Why?

[@oer-vlc]

gonnzoGonnzales My cardinal vowels - at least the way I have learnt them with my teachers, among them Peter Roach, Bill Hardcastle and Jack Windsow Lewis - are close to those introduced by Daniel Jones. The articulatory criterion is: most front, lowest/most open. And that results not in [a] but in the sound I produce. That's the British tradition.

[@tenalexandr1991]

So if the vocal tract amplifies some frequencies, which contributes to a vowel's identity, could we say that vowels are different timbres of the vocal folds?

[@sofiaruffiner4612]

Very clear explanation!

[@BohdanTrotsenko]

Since this video is about speech analysis and FFT I processed 2m of it with my own frequency extraction algorithm Just to showcase that there are better ways to process signals or sounds.

[@jiriheger8227]

Absolutely perfect!! Thank you so much.

[@karlmudsam2834]

Why does a smaller cavity mean a lower frequency? I thought that since the space was smaller only higher frequencies could be produced

[@matths100]

At 15:45 didn't you mean to say the frequency of the noise is between 3000 and 5000 Hz rather 3000 and 500?

[@oer-vlc]

You are right. After more than 50,000 views you are the first to have found out that mistake.

Great lecture!!!! Great professor!!

Hı! can u help me for reading spectrogram. i cant seperate some consonants and vovels.

[@qualityassurance7578]

Can a non-native English speaker be able to do an auditory analysis for English sounds? If not, is there any software that can do the job ?

[@winnieha2481]

Question regarding to F2, i thought [i] and [u] will have similar F2 because they have both small cavity in oral cavity; why [i] led to high F2 value while [u] led to lower F2?

[@avidreader100]

Many questions of similar nature have gone unanswered. My take was as follows. If we repeatedly utter [i] and [u] we will realize what is changing as the mouth configuration. The [i] called a front vowel, has the tongue forming the narrow section somewhat towards the front. The [u] sound is called the back vowel because the narrowest section formed is towards the back. The oral cavity is not a classic cylindrical pipe. It has a complex shape. I take it that in this shape, close vowels (both [i] and [u]) where opening is lower produce a low F1. The distance to the restriction (front and back) is associated with the F2.

Dear prof we are developing a English language learning software , one of the main part is a comparison between the teachers voice and the students voice , we want to have a waveform and a comparison between the 2 voices and provide a score , can this be done?

[@zachpn]

Why is F0 not shown in a Spectogram? I thought with Fourier analysis I see all Frequencys that appear in a Signal - so shouldnt the lowest Format be F0 (voice Pitch)? For example when I sing an "Ahhh" ?

[@zachpn]

Considering I am using a large enough window

[@LeonardoBoiko]

the name "F0" is confusing; F0 ain't a formant at all, but the fundamental frequency. In a tool like Praat, there will be a separate line graph for voice pitch (or it can be superimposed).

[@chalaniacademy3248]

Hi professor , can you tell me "What is the sound analysis "
