The Voice

The chapter describes how an understanding of the way the voice operates can empower both female and male adolescent singers as well as the teachers assisting them through the voice change process. It unpacks basic vocal anatomy and physiology, and then overlays physiological transformations that occur in the larynx during female and male voice change. A special section addresses the impact of hormones on the adolescent voice (especially for females) and promotes awareness of premenstrual vocal syndrome. The chapter encourages music educators to frequently discuss and reference vocal anatomy and physiology with adolescent singers in order to demystify vocal challenges and dispel myths and misunderstandings about how the voice and body function.

AbstractThe human voice is not only the key to human communication but also serves as the primary musical instrument. Many professions rely on the voice, but the most noticeable and visible are singers. Care of the performing voice requires a thorough understanding of the interaction between the anatomy and physiology of voice production, along with an awareness of the interrelationships between vocalisation, acoustic science and non-vocal components of performance. This review gives an overview of the care and prevention of professional voice disorders by describing the unique and integrated anatomy and physiology of singing, the roles of development and training, and the importance of the voice care team.

AbstractFunctional assessment and therapy methods are necessary for a client-centered approach that addresses the client's vocal needs across all environments. The purpose of this article is to present the approach with the intent to encourage discussion and implementation among educators, clinicians, researchers, and students. The functional approach is defined and its importance is described within the context of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health with support provided by synchronous and asynchronous telepractice, the VoiceEvalU8 app, server, and web portal, and a framework that defines voice qualities (e.g., resonance, twang, loud, and others) by the anatomy and physiology of the voice production system (i.e., Estill Figures for Voice). Case scenarios are presented to highlight application of the functional voice approach.

Male Subjects

EMG activity from the inferior constrictor and cricopharyngeus muscles and the voice signal were obtained from 18 laryngectomized male subjects as they produced isolated vowels using alaryngeal phonation. To inflate the esophagus prior to phonation, all subjects but one demonstrated a similar muscle pattern: either one or both muscles studied showed a burst of activity at the moment of inflation. The remaining subject had a muscle pattern during inflation that was identical to a post-laryngectomy swallowing pattern. No typical or modal muscle patterns were found for subjects during the phonatory portion of the alaryngeal voice task. Consistency of pattern within each subject was extremely high during a given procedure and on repeated procedures. The findings suggested that poor talkers had less control of differential muscle contraction than did the adequate talkers and that each laryngectomized talker adopts a phonatory method that is unique to him and consistent with his postoperative anatomy and physiology.

ABSTRACT Purpose: the knowledge concerning care of the voice on the part of professional and amateur singers in Chile is relevant for voice professionals and also for speech pathologists who work in disorder prevention and voice care. It is important to know if there are differences between both groups regarding the knowledge of voice care. Methods: the "Vocal Awareness Questionnaire for Singers'' was applied to a sample of 66 singers: 33 professional and 33 amateur singers. Three areas of knowledge were evaluated: anatomy and physiology of the larynx, vocal hygiene and voice pathologies. Results: there were no significant differences in the knowledge of voice care between professional and amateur singers both at a general level and in specific areas of knowledge. The topic of vocal hygiene obtained the highest percentage of correct answers in both groups, while the lowest percentage was in the area of voice pathologies. Conclusions: there were no differences in the level of knowledge on voice care between the professional and amateur singers included in this study. In both groups, the level of knowledge was from low to moderate. This could increase the incidence of vocal pathologies in both groups.
