“…This result is in line with the previous literature. 37 A single performance of about one and a half hour, indeed, seems not able to affect the objective vocal quality as measured soon after the show. 37 Future research might clarify if SOVTE are able to prevent the negative impact of a longer period of stage performance.…”

Semi-occluded vocal tract exercises (SOVTE) have shown to lead to more effective and efficient vocal production for individuals with voice disorders and for singers. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of a 10-minute SOVTE warm-up protocol on the actors' voice. Methods. Twenty-seven professional theater actors (16 females) without voice complaints were audio-recorded while reading aloud, with their acting voice, a short dramatic passage at four time points. Recordings were made: the day before the show, just before and soon after the warm-up protocol which was performed prior to the show and soon after the show. The voice quality was acoustically and auditory-perceptually evaluated and quantified at each time point by blinded raters. Self-assessment parameters anonymously collected pre and post exercising were also analyzed. Results. No statistically significant differences on perceptual ratings and acoustic parameters were found between pre/post exercise sessions and males/females. A statistically significant improvement was detected in the self-assessment parameters concerning comfort of production, sonorousness, vocal clarity and power. Conclusions. Vocal warm-up with the described SOVTE protocol was effective in determining a self-perceived improvement in comfort of production, voice quality and power, although objective evidence was missing. This straightforward protocol could thus be beneficial if routinely utilized by professional actors to facilitate the voice performance.

“…Choi et al (2016) examined the influence of flow and satisfaction on the realistic performing arts on the quality of performance. D’haeseleer et al (2017) proposed an investigation of vocal quality of theater actors based on vocal complaints and risk factors for developing voice disorders considering before and after a theater performance. Hallqvist et al (2017) analyzed the phonatory and resonator characteristics of nonclassical styles of singing consisting of six professional singers of musical theater and the soul styles of singing.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to formulate and validate a measurement model to evaluate the service quality of cultural centers. This study aims to expand the domain of service quality measurement models by extending the SERVQUAL model to an alternative measurement tool called the ARTQUAL model based on three different preferences and scenarios including concert halls, theater halls and art galleries. Design/methodology/approach The data were collected from 15 cultural centers. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized in the current research to study the association between aesthetic environments and service quality. An exploratory factor analysis took place to formulate the fundamentals of the measurement model. The validation process is based on a hybrid framework integrating the covariance-based SEM along with the partial least square technique to present a robust validity of the ARTQUAL model. Ultimately, an extensive managerial analysis has been established to show the practicality of the ARTQUAL model. Findings This study provides empirical evidence that the ARTQUAL instrument is proven to be valid, reliable and appropriate to evaluate the service quality of cultural centers. Based on the real-world managerial analysis, the ARTQUAL model showed a significant practicality in quality evaluation of aesthetic environments. Research limitations/implications One of the most important limitations of quantitative studies, based on aesthetic features, is the cultural preferences. This limitation is due to the nature of cultural preferences and partialities applied in different countries based on the definition of quality involving aesthetic aspects such as age, sex and culture. Meanwhile, the findings of this study can guide the service management experts to better understand and improve customers’ perceptions and orientations of service quality in aesthetic environments. Originality/value This paper presents a novel service quality measurement model in order to evaluate the service quality of cultural centers. The originality of the current study is not merely limited to the suggestion of a new quality measurement model, a hybrid statistical validation framework has been provided as well. Therefore, this study provides valuable guidelines to both practitioners and academics to enhance the quality of service measurements in cultural centers.

“…As atividades vocais dos atores de teatro sugerem que eles se enquadram em um grupo de risco para desenvolver problemas de voz, devido à carga vocal extremamente alta e ao abuso vocal, que podem contribuir para a lesão nas pregas vocais e alteração de voz (5,6) . No entanto, ainda são raros os dados sobre a prevalência de distúrbios vocais nesse grupo de profissionais da voz (7,8) . Apenas 8,25% dos estudos sobre voz profissional, em Fonoaudiologia, se referem à voz do ator de teatro (9) .…”

“…Mesmo diante das reduzidas informações sobre as queixas de voz em atores, a fadiga vocal é considerada um evento comum para a população de artistas (atores e cantores) (8,10,11) . Estudo realizado por meio de questionário de autoavaliação mostrou que 40% dos atores entrevistados relataram ter apresentado fadiga vocal após as apresentações, com queixa de piora da projeção e da sustentação da voz (10) .…”

RESUMO Objetivo investigar a ocorrência de queixa vocal autorreferida no uso profissional da voz em atores profissionais de teatro; correlacionar presença de queixa vocal com três protocolos de autoavaliação do impacto de uma alteração vocal: Escala de Sintomas Vocais (ESV), Escala de Desconforto do Trato Vocal (EDTV) e Índice de Desvantagem Vocal -10 (IDV-10); verificar quais protocolos são mais robustos à detecção do impacto de possível disfonia nessa população. Métodos Participaram 75 atores profissionais de teatro, ambos os gêneros, 18 a 64 anos. Os atores informaram a presença ou ausência de queixa vocal e responderam a três protocolos de autoavaliação: Escala de Sintomas Vocais (ESV), Escala de Desconforto do Trato Vocal (EDTV) e Índice de Desvantagem Vocal-10 (IDV-10). Resultados constatou-se que 25% dos atores apresentaram queixa vocal. O grupo com queixa (GCQ) apresentou maior número de sintomas vocais e maior frequência e intensidade de desconforto de trato vocal, quando comparado ao grupo sem queixa (GSQ). IDV-10 não identificou desvantagem vocal nos grupos. No GCQ, houve correlação forte entre ESV e IDV-10 e correlação muito forte entre os escores de frequência e intensidade da EDTV. No GSQ, houve correlação moderada entre ESV e EDTV, ESV e IDV-10 e correlação muito forte entre os escores de frequência e intensidade da EDTV. Conclusão neste estudo, 25% dos atores profissionais de teatro apresentaram queixa vocal. A correlação entre a queixa vocal e os protocolos foi positiva e variou de moderada à forte. No GCQ, a ESV e a EDTV foram instrumentos mais robustos na detecção do impacto de uma possível disfonia.
