Topic-193: Spectral Makeup (Formant Values) In order to have the spectral makeup of the vowels, we need to take the formant values (for first two formants i.e., F and F) of the eight vowels already recorded. Calculate the first two formants for each vowel. This you can do by using the automatic formant tracking or the manual measurement (trust your judgment than that of Praat). Having taken the values for all of the vowels, we will subsequently plot them on a chart. Remember that we need the default wide-band spectrogram for measuring the first and second formants (F and F) of each vowel. You can also use Praat’s automatic formant tracking to help you if you want. Also note and try to answer the following questions (for which you can revisit the chapters and lectures on acoustics a. Why do formants (F and F) differ across vowels b. What does F seem to correspond to, in terms of articulation c. What about F To what does it correspond
