Article Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to quantify phases of the vibratory cycle using measurements of glottal cycle quotients and glottal cycle derivatives, in typically developing prepubertal children and young adults with the use of high-speed digital imaging (HSDI).
Methods: Vocal fold vibrations were recorded from 27 children (age range 5-9 years) and 35 adults (age range 21-45 years), with HSDI at 4000 frames per second for sustained phonation. Glottal area waveform measures of Open Quotient, Closing Quotient, Speed Index (SI), Rate Quotient, and Asymmetry Quotient (AsyQ) were computed. Glottal cycle derivatives of Amplitude Quotient (AQ) and Maximum Area Declination Rate (MADR) were also computed. Group differences (adult females, adult males, and children) were statistically investigated for mean and standard deviation values of the glottal cycle quotients and glottal cycle derivatives.
Results: Children exhibited higher values of SI and AsyQ and lower values of MADR compared with adult males. Children exhibited the highest mean value and lowest variability in AQ compared with adult males and females. Adult males showed lower values of SI, AsyQ, AQ, and higher values of MADR compared with adult females.
Conclusions: Glottal cycle vibratory motion in children is functionally different compared with adult males and females, suggesting the need for development of children specific norms for both normal and disordered voice qualities.

Introduction: Functional voice disorders are characterized by impaired voice production without primary organic changes, posing challenges for standardized assessment. Current diagnostic methods rely heavily on subjective evaluation, suffering from inter-rater variability. High-speed videoendoscopy (HSV) offers an objective alternative by capturing true intra-cycle vocal fold behavior.

Objective: To develop an acoustic model to predict the variability in the auditory perception of the overall severity (OS) of vocal deviation in male and female voices of Brazilian Portuguese speakers.
Method: In total, 300 vocal samples (sustained vowel [a] and connected speech) from adults of both sexes (235 women and 65 men) were analyzed, including 269 individuals with dysphonia and 31 individuals without dysphonia. Five speech-language pathologists carried out the auditory-perceptual judgment of the OS using an analog-visual scale of 100 mm.

Objective: Spatial segmentation of high-speed videoendoscopy (HSV) is the process that detects the edges of the vocal folds and represents them in analytic form. The level of spatial segmentation uncertainty (ie, how close vs. far apart different experts marked the edges of the vocal folds) can have a great impact on the level of uncertainty of the final measures (ie, their dispersion).

Objective: The lip trill (an oscillatory semioccluded vocal tract (SOVT) exercise) is commonly used by singers and speakers to improve voice production skills. The specific objective of this study was to investigate the relationships between aerodynamic and acoustic signals during lip trills.
Methods: One trained female singer performed lip trill with and without voicing and a lip trill followed immediately by a /bap:/ syllable string.

: This study aimed to investigate the relationships between kymographic parameters derived from high-speed videoendoscopy (HSV) and simultaneously recorded acoustic signals. The research provides insights into the vibratory dynamics of various glottal pathologies, assessed across different glottal widths, and their mutual relations with audio data. : The study included 192 participants categorized as normophonic or having functional or organic lesions (benign, premalignant, and malignant).
