<p>Voice preferences are an integral part of interpersonal interactions and shape how people 1 connect with each other. While a large number of studies has investigated the mechanisms behind 2 (spoken) voice attractiveness, very little research was dedicated to other types of vocalizations. In 3 this Registered Report, we propose to investigate voice preferences with an integrative approach. 4 To this end, we will use a newly recorded and validated stimulus set of contrasting vocalizations 5 by 22 highly trained female singers speaking and singing the same material in contrasting styles 6 (sung as a lullaby, as a pop song or as an opera aria; and spoken aloud as if directed to an adult 7 audience and as if directed to an infant). We will ask participants to rate these vocalizations in 8 terms of how much they liked them; and we will compare the amount of shared taste (i.e., how 9 much participants agree in their preferences) across styles. This approach will allow us to 10 characterize voice preferences in a broader framework, taking into account the variability in both 11 the uses and functions of vocalizations and in participants’ aesthetic appreciation of them, in order 12 to better understand a question central to human experience.&nbsp;</p>
