This page discusses a new tree for the [[Vocal Relationship Attribute|VocalRelationshipAttribute]]. It's a spin-off from [[Performance Restructuring Proposal|PerformanceRestructuringProposal]] to be able to discuss this easier; for more info about the circumstances, look there. This process is being tracked through [[Ticket:1140|1140]].
This page discusses a new tree for the [[Vocal Relationship Attribute|VocalRelationshipAttribute]]. This proposal began over in the [[Performance Restructuring Proposal]].


==The current vocal tree==
Please note that there is a proposal to add a separate sub-type [[Speaker Relationship Type|SpeakerRelationshipType]] to the vocal [[Performer Relationship Type|PerformerRelationshipType]] and [[Narrator Relationship Type|NarratorRelationshipType]], [[Reader Relationship Type|ReaderRelationshipType]] as subtypes to [[Speaker Relationship Type|SpeakerRelationshipType]], so speech should probably not be included in this tree.

There are 3 separate [[Proposals|proposals]] to add separate relationship types to cover basic speech and its subtypes; speech is here, but it's left to subtypes of that AR to detail various types of speech.

* [[Speaker Relationship Type]] and the sub-relationship types:
Also: [[http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/ticket/4437|Vocal styles: scream and growl]], and somewhere in Trac, though the ticket was vague and I can't find the ticket number, 'synthesized voice'.
::* [[Narrator Relationship Type]]

::* [[Reader Relationship Type]]
* It's currently not possible to have unselectable relationship attributes. [[Ticket:2113|2113]] proposes to make this possible.
