Introduction: The voice production of actors is complex and can be assessed by different professionals. The objective of this study was to measure actor's global vocal performance (GVP) based on overall voice quality (OVQ) and overall severity (OS), by consensus auditory-perceptual evaluation of voice (CAPE-V), and to investigate the possible correlation between these two analyses in actors without self-reported vocal complaints.
Methods: A total of 39 actors participated in this study, including 20 men and 19 women.
Introduction: The ability to perform acoustic inspection of data and to correlate the results with perceptual and physiological aspects facilitates vocal behavior analysis. The singing voice has specific characteristics and parameters that are involved during the phonation mechanism, which may be analyzed acoustically.
Objective: To describe and analyze the fundamental frequency and formants in pitch variation in the /a/ vowel in sopranos.
Purpose: To propose and verify the feasibility of a vocal program intervention in patients with presbylarynx signs with or without vocal complaints.
Method: Among 20 elder participants of the current research, 3 female patients with median age of 67 years were chosen for the pilot study. Laryngological examination, vocal recording with CAPE-V (Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice) protocol, and Screening Protocol of Risk of Dysphonia (SPRD) were conducted before and after the program intervention.
