The influence of reverberant environment on the first formant frequency of Malay speech
The first formant frequency (F1) is important to make speeches understandable. In reverberant environments the speech may be affected and hence the value of F1 may change. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect on F1 due to reverberant level in six room samples. Three different wor...
