Italian term for close timbre. Voce chiusa refers to any sung sounds in which the second harmonic is above the first resonance—in other words, the timbre of any pitches within an octave below the first resonance. This term has also been used historically to describe an overall convergent resonator shape that results in the chiaroscuro timbre of Western classical singing, in which vowels close an octave below an unraised first formant, in contrast to a predominantly divergent, open timbre resonator adjustment.[1]
