    This paper presents computational results
    of sound pressure distributions and transfer characteristics for
    a large number of vocal-tract models which contain geometrical
    perturbations. A small change of the vocal-tract shape is
    regarded as a geometrical perturbation of the axis position
    of each vocal-tract section. Computation of the acoustic field
    in the models are performed using higher-order modes.
    The results indicate that acoustic characteristics in the higher frequencies
    are highly sensitive to the small change of the vocal-tract shape.
