This would work fine, except in terms of success.

Vocal Visualizer

 Visual aid to tuning

This would be a computer visualization based on the sound of a singers voice that shows them the shape of their vocal tract.

So first you would make a dot that goes up the screen as the pitch of your voice higher and down the screen as the pitch of your voice goes lower, and build it from there.

       So, an oscilloscope.

       Is there an oscilloscope software that gives you a realistic visualization of a singers vocal tract as they sing?

       I don't see that this would be too hard to do. Basically you do a frequency analysis to ennumerate what harmonics there are and how strong each one is; then you use the output of this to adjust an on-screen image of your throat.

       There are many software applications for pitch detection and most remarkable pitch correction even for live performance. Some open source code uses the [pocmloc] suggested aproach for detection.   

       What I can't see, is how a singer could use a moving dot in the imprecise scale of a drawing of a vocal tract to improve their tuning.

       Well I was imagining that the well-baked spectrum analysis side of things would outoput a series of numbers (basically pairs of {frequency, amplitude}). The clever bit is that there is an algorythym that draws on the screen a lifelike 3d representation of the inside of a human vocal tract. When you feed into the algowrithem a series of number-pairs, it redraws the picture distorted in certain directions. The clever bit is that the distortions are calculated to approximate the real-world shape of the singer's bodily parts.

       Yes. It's called 'Rock Band' for Xbox 360.
