Abstract

The first publicly available singing voice database, which was first released in 2012, is presented in this paper. This database contains recordings of professional singers including one Grammy Award winner. The database includes so-called plain singing as well as singing with nine different singing expressions. For all the material there are both vocal and glottal voice recordings, where glottal recordings were made by placing the microphone on the neck of the singer near the glottis. Part of the database is annotated on the phoneme and pitch level, which makes it much easier to do automated analyses of different singing voice phenomena. Such varied content of the singing voice database makes it possible to use different types of singing voice for research, including interconnection of vocal and glottal singing voice signals, acoustic phenomena which take place in singing voice, different acoustic phenomena and effects of different expressions in singing voice, as well as comparing singing voice phenomena and acoustic effects of different singers. This database can also be used for simplified singing voice synthesis.
