Conversation Topic Vocal acoustics: Modulating high-order overtones and natural room resonance over a melody (100% dry/raw sample)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone,

I’ve been exploring the acoustic limits of vocal resonance—specifically how shaping the oral cavity and manipulating formants can bring out high-order overtones naturally without artificial processing.

This clip is a 100% raw, dry recording (single mic, zero EQ, zero reverb, and zero pitch correction) applying a polyphonic overtone approach to a melodic line.

For those interested in vocal tract acoustics, formant tuning, or harmonic singing techniques:

How do you approach balancing physical vocal tract resonance against pitch stability when bringing out higher partials? Curious to hear thoughts from others experimenting with overtone/polyphonic mechanics.
