Considering that teachers need to exert control over the class and transfer the contents of the classes, it is believed that those who have some knowledge of vocal production and respiratory support and speak in strong loudness with the appropriate adjustments, present a higher quality of life in voice (3,19) . The definition of harmonics is related to its demarcation and symmetry and increased harmonic structure may result both of its production by the glottal source, favored by the intense mobilization of the mucosa, as its amplification by the vocal tract (18,20) .…”
