Can science tell if someone sings well?

352 viewsBiologyOther

A friend recently asked if you could surgically make someone sound better. My explanation was it’s not a testable thing (you can’t really test a voice to check if it’s good before you consider the operation complete). So it’d be tough to test unlike visible surgeries like a nose job. I was wondering if there’s a scientific way to check if someone sounds good when they sing rather than testing by hearing them.

Singing “good” is like, 90% breathe control and relaxing a bunch of muscles in your vocal tract. Most if not everyone could sing “good”, we just tense up with expectation and imitation. What we will be able to do, probably fairly shortly, is transform someone’s singing voice to sound like whomever they would like, even live, with computers. But that isn’t objectively better.
