Download Spectrograph Software for Computer Voice Analysis

Jeremy Fisher

There is a wide selection of voice analysis software available on the web that can be used to produce spectrograms. They have a range of features and most are available for free trial. Here is an overview of some of the software packages I’ve tried.

VoceVista
Drew University Music Department LAS3 Lab.

A free version of this software, called ‘VoceVista – RealTime’ is available for download from the Vocalist web site. It’s a good program to start with if you’re learning about computer voice analysis and only takes a few minutes to download. The free version is limited to recording a maximum of eight seconds but does allow you to save examples. The fully featured version costs around $65. The Drew University Music Department has a web site with articles describing VoceVista’s use in the vocal studio (link below).

More information on the software is available from the VoceVista web site: http://www.vocevista.com/

Giving the student broader knowledge about the structures of the larynx can be effective on many levels of their training and understanding. The 'moveable larynx' has long been the starting point of Vocal Process courses including Singing and the Actor Training.
