Most musical instruments exhibit complex patterns of sound radiation, which change with direction, played pitch, and many other factors. The same holds true for the body of a singer, regarded as an instrument, singing with her or his voice but activating also parts of the chest, neck, face, etc. The study examines differences in sound radiation of different body parts between various techniques and singing styles. Radiation patterns of the classical singing voice as well as non-classical singing styles, the Musical style, overtone singing, and Pop music, all produced by professional singers, were investigated using a microphone array comprising 128 microphones. The results are visualized displaying the strength of voice radiations and marking areas of radiation of the singer's upper body. The experiment shows that radiation patterns of the singing voice depend on vocal techniques, the vowel employed, and pitch. Additionally accelerometer measurements at lower body parts like the legs or foots show the transmission of the singing vibrations even to these remote body parts.
