Above is my near perfect rendition of Habanera by Angela Gheorghiu the famed opera singer for Carmen. For reference:

The more I open my mouth the louder my singing becomes.

I can sing faster or slower as I move away from the microphone.

I also am so in control of my voice that I can change my pitch just by making different shapes with my mouth.

In regards to the program I made to genetically alter my voice through code I wish I could have altered the sound in more ways. Unfortunately the processing sound library doesn’t allow you to do too many crazy things to sound and I am unsure how to do it mathematically. That being said I change the pitch, rate, and volume as a real singer would in order to become a ProOperaSuperstar. Thank you. Goodbye.
