- This paper sets out a method for calculating the acoustic output from a human vocal tract based entirely on its shape as measured from a set of 3-dimensional magnetic resonance images (MRI). It offers the possibility of enabling the acoustic consequences of vocal tract trauma to be explored along with the changes that could be made through the reconstructive surgery; effectively a designer voice. It has lead to Howard being invited to be part of the research team behind the ‘ShoutAtCancer’ choral initiative which brings laryngectomees together for rehabilitation through singing.
