This paper describes a study of subjective criteria for untrained singerspsila singing voice quality evaluation, focusing on the perceptual aspects that have relatively strong acoustic implications. And the correlation among the individual perceptual criteria is also investigated. A SVM regression method is applied to find the importance of every evaluation criterion. Experiments on a 200 singing clips dataset are conducted to give promising results. And probable acoustic cues are introduced for a future prospect.
