As a linguist I can tell you that doing studies based on open data is a challenge. You need to pick one variable to study in order to make any sort of usable data. the /a/ vowel sound is a very open vowel - so there is little constriction in the vocal track. This gives it a lot of potential for loud volume and pitch possibilities. I would think if you were going to study the ability to control voume and pitch that the /a/ phoneme would be a good one to study.So - I do think they can make an accurate study from this. IMHO.
