Abstract:Purpose: to report an experience of simulation applied to a research context and assess the feasibility of using trained actors’ audio recordings to simulate nasality levels. Methods: two clinical simulation actors selected and subsequently trained to simulate three nasality levels (non-nasal, mild to moderate hypernasal and severe hypernasal), resulting in a total of 6 audios. These files were analysed through a Praat script to obtain the measures A1-P0 compensated and the first formant’s bandwidth. Afterwar… Show more
