The application of exercise science training knowledge has been of growing interest to voice professionals. This tutorial, derived from the authors’ invited presentations from the “Exercise and the Voice” Special Session at the 2018 Voice Foundation Symposium, proposes a foundational theoretical structure based in exercise science, clarifies the wide range of variables that may influence voice training, and summarizes our present understanding of voice physiology from the perspective of muscle training.

Laryngeal contact granuloma is a disease of benign hypertrophic granulation tissue at the medial side of vocal process. Numerous studies of conservative and surgical management have reported effectiveness, yet optimal treatment has not been standardized. We compared primary and secondary outcomes of conservative and surgical treatment using endoscopic grading, Voice Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10), maximum phonation time (MPT), and recurrence rate.

A three-dimensional flow-structure interaction model of voice production is used to investigate the effect of the stiffness parameters of vocal fold layers on voice production. The vocal fold is modeled as a three-layer structure consisting of the cover, ligament, and body layers. All the three layers are modeled as transversely isotropic materials for which the stiffness parameters include the transverse elastic modulus and longitudinal elastic modulus. The results show that, in addition to the...

Objective: This study investigated the effects of a school-based vocal hygiene education program “Green Voice for School” on promoting knowledge of healthy voice use for primary school students. Methods: Thirty-nine grade 4 and 5 students from local primary schools participated in the “Green Voice for School” program. Students received 6 weekly vocal hygiene training sessions with the aim of enhancing their voice care knowledge. Their voice care knowledge was assessed by a 15-item questionnaire....

Publication date: Available online 12 October 2019Source: Computer Speech & LanguageAuthor(s): M Kiran Reddy, K Sreenivasa RaoAbstractIn this paper, a novel excitation modelling method is proposed for improving the naturalness of statistical parametric speech synthesis (SPSS). In the proposed approach, the excitation or residual signal is parameterized by using features extracted from the epochs. The epoch parameters used in this work are epoch strength and sharpness. These features are modeled...

Publication date: December 2019Source: Brain and Language, Volume 199Author(s): Cathryn S. Cortesa, Caitlin M. Hudac, Dennis L. MolfeseAbstractNewborns habituate to repeated auditory stimuli, and discriminate syllables, generating opportunities for early language learning. This study investigated trial-by-trial changes in newborn electrophysiological responses to auditory speech syllables as an index of habituation and novelty detection. Auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded from...

Publication date: Available online 11 October 2019Source: Computer Speech & LanguageAuthor(s): Shreyas Ramoji, Sriram GanapathyAbstractThe conventional i-vector approach to speaker and language recognition constitutes an unsupervised learning paradigm where a variable length speech utterance is converted into a fixed dimensional feature vector (termed as i-vector). The i-vector approach belongs to the broader family of factor analysis models where the utterance level adapted means of a Gaussian...

Brunkan, Dr. Jason BowersSummaryThe purpose of this investigation was to examine the potential effects of two singer gestures on performances of solo singers (N = 32). Participants sang two songs (“Over the Rainbow” with low, circular arm gesture and “Singin’ in the Rain” with pointing gesture) five times: Baseline (without singer gesture), three iterations of each song paired with a singer gesture,...

Publication date: Available online 9 October 2019Source: Journal of VoiceAuthor(s): Ana Bonetti, Luka Bonetti, Ozana ČipčićABSTRACTIn this paper the authors hypothesize that the intensity of subjective experience of vocal fatigue (VF) potentially reflects primary (hyper) functional vocal disorders (primary muscle tension dysphonia – MTD) differently than structural vocal disorders of functional etiology (MTD type 2a). Given the reported benefit of self-evaluation in the quantification of VF, the...

Objective: There is currently limited knowledge on the useof transcription in the management of children with speech sound disorders (SSD) by speech-language pathologists in Australia. This study explored the use of transcription, the facilitators, and challenges of transcription use, and differences in the use of detailed transcription with various client groups. Method and Participants: Eighty-four participants (speech-language pathologists working in Australia) completed an online exploratory...
