What is fundamental frequency in speech?

Speaking fundamental frequency (SFF) is the central tendency of the frequency of vibration of the vocal folds during connected speech (Baken & Orlikoff, 2000) and correlates with the perceived pitch of a speaker's voice.

What determines the fundamental frequency for voice speech?

Typically fundamental frequencies lie roughly in the range 80 to 450 Hz, where males have lower voices than females and children. The F0 of an individual speaker depends primarily on the length of the vocal folds, which is in turn correlated with overall body size.

How do you find the fundamental frequency of a speech?

1 Direct observation of vocal folds The most accurate measurement of fundamental frequency can be obtained by directly examining the movements of the vocal folds during speech production, or their associated muscle activation.

Why is fundamental frequency important in speech?

The fundamental frequency (F0) of the voice is used to convey information about both linguistic and affective distinctions.
