Acoustic and Perceptual Analyses of Brazilian Male Actors' and Nonactors' Voices: Long-term Average Spectrum and the “Actor's Formant”

Modificações laríngeas e vocais produzidas pela técnica de vibração sonorizada de língua

“…The acoustic evaluation, from the clinical point of view, complements the findings observed on the auditory perceptual analysis and on the laryngoscopic evaluation (14,15,16). There was a significant increase on fundamental frequency post-STVT (Table 2).…”

The Effects of Articulation on the Perceived Loudness of the Projected Voice

“…In a listening test, ten judges were presented with pairs of stimuli, and they selected the resonant productions to be louder than the constricted productions 80% of the time. Perhaps the actors in the Master et al (2008) study were well trained in resonant voicing, which may have accounted for those actors sounding louder than non-actors.…”

“…The present results suggest that the explanation for such perceptual differences may be due to modifications in articulation. That is, assuming the actors in the Master et al (2008) study were well trained in articulation, then articulatory differences may have been responsible for significant differences in perceived loudness.…”

“…In a study of acoustic and perceptual analyses, Master et al (2008) found that actors were generally perceived as louder than non-actors when reading text with a loud voice, even when the sound pressure level (SPL) was not significantly different between groups. Therefore, the SPL alone does not explain the perceptual differences between actor and non-actor loudness levels.…”

Measuring Voluntary Cough and Its Relationship to the Perception of Voice

“…LTAS has been used widely to describe voice production in healthy and impaired (i.e., dysphonic) populations (Master et al, 2008). For example, Dromey (2003) Hz compared to an FSP of 496 Hz for young male speakers.…”
