Abstract
Many choir singers in the world know the fascinating phenomenon of choir sound, which is the result of multiple voices singing in an ensemble. This so-called chorus effect, where the normal mechanisms of auditory localization of the single voices are disrupted, may be caused by complex interactions between the choir singers, but has not been researched in detail. Each singer of an amateur and a professional vocal ensemble of 16 singers was recorded on separate tracks while singing in the choir. The evaluation of different choir pieces and exercises provided information and predictions about F0, SPL, timing/synchronization, vibrato behavior, and the produced choir sound. The results reveal differences between amateur and professional choirs for homophonic and polyphonic choir pieces, and suggest new considerations for choir rehearsals and concert performances.
