Who Has The Longer Vocal Tract: Hank or John Green?

In this video, I resolve the (totally, absolutely, 100% real, I promise, wink wink) controversy-- which of the two Vlogbrothers, Hank or John Green, has the longer vocal tract? And, along the way, we learn about the basis for acoustic phonetics, aka the acoustic analysis of speech sounds. Who doesn't love physics?

(See Amazon link to book below.) How to download the phonetics software Praat: http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/ Here is an extremely thorough and detailed guide to using Praat. Let me know in the comments if you're trying to get started with Praat and the level of detail is too overwhelming and you can't make any headway. http://wstyler.ucsd.edu/praat//UsingP... The Hank vowel measurement came from the word "about" in the phrase "a fair bit about" around the 30 second mark in his video, "When It All Seems Like Too Much," from 12/4/2018.    • When it All Seems Like Too Much   The John vowel measurement came from the word "about" in the phrase "this year's letter is about surprises" around the 1:25 mark in his video, "Are Textbooks Obsolete?" from 2/12/2019.    • Are Textbooks Obsolete?   FURTHER READING: These are three introductory phonetics textbooks, listed in increasing order of difficulty. Ladefoged's A Course in Phonetics is more detailed than his Vowels and Consonants, you will definitely need some background in articulatory phonetics before moving on to Johnson's Acoustic and Auditory Phonetics. In any case, these three books will give you a good overview of phonetics concepts, and in way more detail than I could cover in these videos. Enjoy!
