what makes a voice sound pleasant/unpleasant?

6.32K views

I was listening to kpop (don’t judge) and I was wondering what specifically made the singer’s voice sound so pleasant, even though they were singing in a language I don’t understand. Is it something you can practice or is it simply something that you are born with?

There are 12 notes in the classical musical scale A-G with all having a sharp # (I.E A#) except B and E. Between every notes there are degrees of closeness called “cents”. Think one of those small plastic protractors we used to have for telling the degrees in an angle in maths class with the note A at 0 degrees and B at 180 degrees. The closer you are to the full note the better it sounds the farther away it is the worse it sounds. This is known as “timbre” pronounced tam-Ber. People who sing or sound flawless or pleaseny hit those notes exactly. Those who do not are a slight few degrees away from that note or if they really suck they are wildly off from those notes.
