Can science tell if someone sings well?

345 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.

From my knowledge, we humans can’t modify vocal cords like that. I’ve been made aware that just about any form of contact with them damages them in very special ways.

For the other part: What can be tested is how someone can correctly produce a certain sound. But that’s not hinged on the cords, it’s on the person’s usage of them.
