This book addresses various aspects of acoustic-phonetic analysis,
including voice quality and fundamental frequency, and the effects
of speech fluency and non-native accents, by examining read speech,
public speech, and conversations. Voice is a sexually dimorphic
trait that can convey important biological and social information
about the speaker, and empirical findings suggest that voice
characteristics and preferences play an important role in both
intra- and intersexual selection, such as competition and mating,
and social evaluation. Discussing evaluation criteria like physical
attractiveness, pleasantness, likability, and even persuasiveness
and charisma, the book bridges the gap between social and
biological views on voice attractiveness. It presents conceptual,
methodological and empirical work applying methods such as passive
listening tests, psychoacoustic rating experiments, and
crowd-sourced and interactive scenarios and highlights the
diversity not only of the methods used when studying voice
attractiveness, but also of the domains investigated, such as
politicians' speech, experimental speed dating, speech synthesis,
vocal pathology, and voice preferences in human interactions as
well as in human-computer and human-robot interactions. By doing
so, it identifies widespread and complementary approaches and
establishes common ground for further research.
