Abstract
The Voice Range Profile (VRP) is a map of the dynamic and fundamental frequency ranges of a voice and is often used by both the voice clinicians and coaches to show improvements in therapy and/or training. However, although the VRP may accurately capture the extreme range of the voice, it does not represent actual patient/student voice use which is where the therapy and training hope to improve. Using the National Center for Voice and Speech voice dosimeter, the actual voice use of 60 teachers was captured over two weeks per subject (average of 160 hours of recording per subject). The result is an entirely new method of examining voice; the Voice Use Profile (VUP). The VUP enhances the VRPs 2-D representation of vocal frequency and intensity by adding a third dimension, that of normalized incidences of occurrences. Using the VUP, intensity-frequency area where a voice user spend most of his/her time can be quantified and tracked, allowing for metrics for patient improvements. The presentation of this abstract will illustrate the VUP of several subjects showing how the addition of this third-dimension gives a detailed look of the topography of the subjects voice use through computer animation.
