“…Such measure is the result of the iteraction among vocal fold length, mass and tension during speech. Among acoustic parameters, fundamental frequency has proven to be the most uniform of them when we consider different acoustic analysis systems, and the one less sensitive to voice recording characteristics [7][8][9] . Frequency and cycle-to-cycle amplitude variation measures, jitter and shimmer, respectively, in the production of sustained vowels have proved to be useful in the description of normal and dysphonic speakers' vocal characteristics, being respectively related to hoarseness and roughness 6,[10][11][12][13] .…”

St udies have established that normative data is necessary for acoustic analysis. The aim of the present study is to standardize fundamental frequency measures (fo), jitter, shimmer and harmonic-noise ratio (HNR) for young adults with normal voice. Method: 20 males and 20 females, between 20 and 45 years, without signs and symptoms of vocal problems; CSL-4300 Kay-Elemetrics; vowels /a/ and /é/. Results: for females, vowels /a/ and /é/ had average measures of: fo 205.82 Hz and 206.56 Hz; jitter of 0.62% and 0.59%; shimmer of 0.22 dB and 0.19 dB; PHR of 10.9 dB and 11.04 dB, respectively. For males, vowel /a/ and /é/ had average measures of: fo 119.84 Hz and 118.92 Hz; jitter of 0.49% and 0.5%; shimmer of 0.22 dB and 0.21 dB; HNR 9.56 dB and 9.63 dB, respectively. Both fo and NHR female measures were significantly higher than their male counterparts. Conclusion: our results differ from the literature; therefore, it is important to standardize the program in use.

This body of work has yielded a broad set of criteria for acoustic analysis.…”
