The Transient Theory of Human Voice Production with Dr Julian Chen
Dr Julian Chen
World Voice Day
World Voice Day - free-to-attend lecture! An initial version of the transient theory of human voice production, the timbron theory, was proposed by Leonhard Euler in 1727. In this lecture, subsequent experimental output and the timbron theory of human voice production are presented in an easy to understand graphical format.
