Can science tell if someone sings well?

361 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 on key is objectively measurable. Notes are a mathematical distance from each other in regard to frequency. Now, there is more to singing than that, but if you can sing on pitch, everything else can be taught.
