Objective Relative fundamental frequency (RFF) has been suggested as a potential acoustic
measure of vocal effort. However, current clinical standards for RFF measures require time …

Background Adenotonsillectomy is one of the most common pediatric surgical procedures.

Purpose Prior work suggests that voice onset time (VOT) may be impacted by laryngeal
tension: VOT means decrease when individuals with typical voices increase their …

Timbre emerges quite rapidly from the process of auditory-unit formation, more rapidly than
loudness, pitch, and perceived location. It only takes a few milliseconds to identify vowel …

In recent years, vocal fatigue research has been increasingly studied particularly with
application to the reduction of its impact on schoolteachers and other occupational voice …

Distinguishing shouted from non-shouted speech is crucial in communication. We examined
how shouting affects temporal properties of the amplitude envelope (ENV) in a total of 720 …

Human voice has been a great source of fascination and an object of research for over 100
years. During that time numerous technologies have sprouted around the voice, such as the …

fundamental frequency during voicing transitions. The physiological mechanisms underlying …

This pilot study proposes an acoustic study of the vocal expressions in Ìjálá and Ẹ̀sà, two
genres of Yorùbá oral poetry. For this study, we conducted an experiment, involving the …
