“…Previous studies have shown age-related changes in voice fundamental frequency [F0] (i.e., the acoustical correlate of voice pitch, which ranges from low to high) (Decoster and Debruyne 1997;Honjo and Isshiki 1980;Hunter et al 2012;Linville 1996;Mueller 1997;Ramig 1983b), which would begin as early as~50 years (D'Haeseleer et al 2011). Older adults also have higher jitter-a measure of cycle-to-cycle variation of vocal F0 (i.e., the acoustical correlate of pitch fluctuations)-compared to younger adults (Wilcox and Horii 1980).…”

The manner and extent to which normal aging affects the ability to speak are not fully understood. While age-related changes in voice fundamental frequency and intensity have been documented, changes affecting the planning and articulation of speech are less well understood. In the present study, 76 healthy, cognitively normal participants aged between 18 and 93 years old were asked to produce auditorily and visually triggered sequences of finely controlled movements (speech, oro-facial, and manual movement). These sequences of movements were either (1) simple, in which at least two of the three movements were the same, or (2) complex, in which three different movements were produced. For each of the resulting experimental condition, accuracy was calculated. The results show that, for speech and oro-facial movements, accuracy declined as a function of age and complexity. For these movements, the negative effect of complexity on performance accuracy increased with age. No aging or complexity effects were found for the manual movements on accuracy, but a significant slowing of movement was found, particularly for the complex sequences. These results demonstrate that there is a significant deterioration of fine motor control in normal aging across different response modalities.

“…In addition, we differentiated between characters with smaller changes in pitch. In the first prototype, this was done by age, as adult female voices get lower with age while male voices get higher, so this is again a realistic option [7]. In the current prototype, age is not factored in and the pitch within a gender's pitch range is fixed in order of amount of dialogue.…”

Abstract. Research has shown that in contemporary movies, male characters consistently outnumber female characters. In recent years, the number of speaking roles identified as female has declined or remained stable. Guidelines like the Bechdel and Mako Mori test have emerged as a method of evaluating gender representation in film. In this study, a more abstract and experiential form of evaluation is proposed. The per-segment sonification of the assigned gender of a character and the amount of lines they have in that segment of the script creates an audio file, showcasing the gender-representation in the movie dynamically. Two focus groups, one specifically consisting of young filmmakers, have expressed their interest in this form of movie-sonification. Expressed wishes for additional features and other suggested improvements are taken into consideration for the creation of the next prototype.
