New Voice Pitch Software for Singing

August 26, 2011 - 4:05 pm No Comments

Voice pitch is one of the top concerns for singers in modern times. While vocal pitch has always been an issue, the recent flood of feedback from adjudicators about pitchy intonation has raised the awareness of the listening audience to levels not previously experienced. Today the word pitchy has become a household expression shared by young and old alike. Voice pitch can be improved by many methods, but often the most important first consideration is learning the cause of voice pitch problems. In some cases it may not be necessary to understand the cause of pitch problems and simply applying a few well known remedies may be effective. For example, poor posture and weak breath support are well known causes of pitch problems, so standing up straight and expanding your lungs might do the trick.


Software for singing is a new approach to resolving pitch problems. For most singers, chronic pitch issues are related to the way that they hear their own pitch. Our ears pick up pitch feedback from within our own head and from reflections from nearby acoustical surfaces. The brain assembles this myriad of incoming pitch, creating a rough average perception of the pitch. Software for singing provides objective feedback for the singer by graphing their real pitch. This type of biofeedback helps train the singer to be on pitch.
