The purpose of this investigation was to compare speaker height and weight identification from voiced and whispered speech stimuli in an attempt to determine the effect of vocal pitch on such identification tasks. A total of 28 speakers, 14 females and 14 males, recorded a standard prose passage in a normal and whispered manner. Four master tapes were constructed, one for each of the voiced and whispered readings as well as for the two speaker sex groups. A total of 32 judges, 16 females and 16 males, participated in two sessions, one for the female and male voiced tapes and one for the female and male whispered tapes. The order of presentation of the tapes was randomized so that 16 subjects judged the voiced tapes in the first session and the whispered tapes in the second session, while 16 subjects heard the whispered tapes in the first session and the voiced tapes in the second session. In addition, the order of presentation of the female and male tapes in each session was randomized. The judges were asked to make direct estimations of height and weight for each speaker on the tapes. Results indicated that listeners were capable of accurately identifying the approximate heights and weights of speakers under both experimental conditions. Moreover, listener height and weight identification accuracy did not differ significantly between the voiced and whispered conditions, indicating that vocal pitch does not appear to play a major role in height and weight identification tasks. Implications of these findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.
