This speaker identification study attempted to determine if listeners could match an individual's photograph and a recording of their speech. Fifteen young adult females served as speakers. Each, in the opinion of the investigators, spoke with a homogeneous Southern dialect. The said the phrase “How are y'all doin' today.” and the second sentence of the “Rainbow Passage.” Recordings were made in a quiet environment and front photographs (from the waist up) were made prior to the recordings. Slides made from the photographs were paired and presented to two groups of naive listeners for their identification by a binary forced-choice procedure. Group one consisted of 32 listeners and group two of 29. The “How are y'all doin' …” phrase was played first and “The rainbow is …” was played second. Lass and Harvey, [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 59, 1232–1236 (1976)] using a similar procedure found that listeners could make such identifications significantly better than chance. The results of the present study showed that group one made identification above chance on both phrases and group two below chance in each category. Combined scores were chance.
