In this paper a recording of two traditional stornellos performed by two non professional singers from southern Marche (Italy) has been analyzed. Three acoustic measures related to harsh voice quality – jitter, shimmer and harmonics-to-noise ratio (HNR) – have been examined in order to describe by means of quantitative descriptors the difference between the voices of the two singers and to investigate some prospective factors that can be related to the variability of their voice quality in the recorded performance.
