Abstract
In two studies, we examined vocal characteristics of accuracy. Participants watched a staged-crime film and were interviewed as eyewitnesses. A mega-analysis showed that correct responses were uttered with 1) a higher pitch, 2) greater energy in the first formant region, 3) higher speech rate and 4) shorter pauses.
