    Listeners primarily distinguish male and female voices using acoustic cues. Perceptual strategies may differ when classifying male versus female voices, impacting voice perception.

    Area of Science:

    • Acoustic Phonetics
    • Psychoacoustics
    • Speech Perception

    Background:

    • Understanding the acoustic and perceptual features differentiating male and female voices is crucial in speech science.
    • Previous research has explored vocal differences, but a comprehensive analysis integrating acoustic measures and listener perception is needed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To acoustically define perceptual parameters distinguishing normal male and female voices.
    • To investigate listener strategies in classifying voices based on acoustic properties.

    Main Methods:

    • Twenty subjects (10 male, 10 female) produced speech segments.
    • Listener judges rated voice similarities using a seven-point scale.
    • Multidimensional scaling (INDSCAL) and correlational analyses were applied to acoustic measures and perceptual ratings.

    Main Results:

    • The primary dimension for voice distinction was male versus female, with significant acoustic correlates.
    • Listeners assigned greatest weight to the male-female voice dimension.
    • Evidence suggests distinct perceptual strategies for classifying male and female voices.

    Conclusions:

    • Acoustic correlates of the male-female voice dimension are key perceptual parameters.
    • Listener classification of male and female voices may involve different perceptual strategies.
    • This study provides insights into the psychoacoustic basis of voice gender perception.
