English term or phrase: pitch allowance
To account for a vibrato, the vocal analyser has a pitch allowance, this pitch allowance allows singers to be slightly sharp or flat (above/below the note) and still score.
On occasion singers drift into this vibrato pitch allowance with a pure tone (without vibrato) and therefore they sing slightly sharp or flat but still score.
This pitch allowance was used across the entire series to be fair to all singers.


This is for a show where contestants sing.

Intonationstoleranz
Explanation:
Intonation i. S. d. Feinabstimmung der Tonhöhe, hier: „den Ton treffen“. Bei Sängerinnen und Sängern, deren Intonation jenseits des Toleranzbereichs liegt (oder die hier und da zur „Unsicherheit“ neigen), wird bei Studioaufnahmen (und inzwischen auch bei Live-Konzerten in Echtzeit!) mit Tonhöhenkorrektur („pitch correction“) der Gesangsspur(en) nachgeholfen.
