New Technology and Equipment in the Voice Studio Music and technology are combining to enhance both the production of music and the capacities of the human voice (Moore, 1992). Electronic musical instruments such as synthesizers and sequencers have changed the face of traditional music and when they were introduced, these technologies were seen as a logical step in the development of music as an art form (Moore, 1992).
More recently, computerized and other electronic technologies have been created that reproduce singers' voices and permit the analysis and encoding of singers' voices and singing styles (Neesham, 1996). New synthesizers and other equipment known as spectrogram technology have been created that augment traditional methods of studio teaching (Nair, 1997).
Nair (1997) identified the spectrogram as a computer-generated display that produces a visual representation of the partials of an acoustical signal over time
