Changes of voice production in artificial acoustic environments
The physical production of speech level dynamic range is directly affected by the physiological features of the speaker such as vocal tract size and lung capacity. However, the regulation of these production systems is affected by the perception of the communication environment and auditory …

The impact of vocal function exercises on normal voice production
… (VFE) might improve vocal function in normal voices. Measures were made to reflect potential post-treatment changes in acoustic and aerodynamic variables, including a measure of vocal efficiency. The participants of the study included 35 adults with normal voices. Each completed a series of …

Vocal degeneration in man : a comparative treatise on the larynx in relation to voice production
… reasons for the differences between good and bad voice, dealing only with the condition of the vocal muscles in relation to the aperture of the glottis in vertebrate animals, and having no regard for the variations in shape of the resonating cavities above. My own voice being more than commonly …

Effects Of Simultaneous Exercise And Speech Tasks On The Perception Of
… of this study was to investigate the effects of voice production and perception of dyspnea in aerobic instructors during simultaneous tasks of exercise and speech production. The study aimed to document changes that occur during four conditions: 1) voice production without exercise and no use of …

A Systematic Analysis of Risks to Adolescent Vocal Health
… difficulties in high school musical theater productions. Anonymous student surveys (N=60) from two rural high schools in West Georgia revealed over-use and lack of knowledge about chest voice singing as risky to adolescent vocal health. Anonymous choral director surveys (N=2) from the same …

The effect of bilingualism on vocal parameters related to vocal fatigue among Spanish-English bilingual speakers
… well-known that language fluency affects speech production; however, there is little information on how it affects voice production. The goal of the current study was to identify the task and acoustic measures that could be applied to future research investigating vocal production in bilingual …

Development, perceptual evaluation, and acoustic analysis of amplitude-based F0 control in Electrolarynx speech
… the vocal tract as a substitute for laryngeal voice production. ELs provide laryngectomy patients with the basic capability to communicate, but current EL devices produce a mechanical speech quality which has been largely attributed to the lack of natural fundamental frequency (F0) variation. …

Laryngeal function associated with changes in lung volume during voice and speech production in normal speaking women
… as evidence that laryngeal function during voice production is clearly influenced by the lung volume at which phonation is produced. Possible underlying physiological mechanisms are discussed. These findings contribute to better understanding of the normal vocal mechanism when phonation is …

Beyond Clinical Measures: A Mixed-Methods Study of a Systematized Voice Therapy Protocol for Perioperative Rehabilitation of Benign Vocal Fold Lesions
Voice disorders affect approximately 17.9 million U.S. adults annually, yet attrition rates in voice therapy remain high, with up to 65% of patients discontinuing treatment. Patients undergoing phonomicrosurgery for benign vocal fold lesions (BVFLs) face a postoperative period in which adherence to …

Kinematic Modeling of Asymmetric Vocal Fold Vibration
… particular asymmetries contribute to breathy voice and which asymmetries must be eliminated to re-establish normal voice will be important to improving evaluation and treatment of VFMI. It was hypothesized that several structural and vibratory asymmetries should lead to predictable changes in …
