Literature Review - Source-Filter Theory

A nice find for my literature review and for my methodology, Fant's Source-Filter theory details sound production from an angle that draws strong parallels with that of Subtractive synthesis. As Subtractive synthesis deals with the principle of an excitation source and resonator, the Source-Filter theory deals with the larynx and the vocal tract - Essentially viewed upon as a "Source" and a "Filter" respectively.

This approach would help underline the project design, splitting up the ways to attempt processing the human vocal sound to become a big cat.
