Abstract
The article presents the results of the research joining signal analysis and medical aspects. It focuses on the analysis of the voice signals of the singers using GNE parameter. The GNE (Glottal-to-Noise Excitation Ratio) parameter has been used for the analysis of singing voice quality. The GNE values were calculated basing on the recorded samples. The results show that GNE may be useful in assessing the overall singing quality of the choir singers. The results may be useful for the development of the tools for computer analysis of singer’s or speaker’s voices.
