Italian term for open timbre. Voce aperta refers to any sung sounds in which two or more harmonics are at or below the first resonance—in other words, the timbre of any pitches sung an octave or more below the first resonance. This term has also been used historically to describe an overall divergent resonator shape characterized by open timbre, in which vowels may migrate towards a yell-like quality, which are more typical of belting and various world music singing styles.[1]
