Methods: Using the vocal fry method described by Miller, formant frequencies of the [a] and [o] vowels were obtained from 13 collegiate sopranos. Subjects were then recorded as they sang 3 trials of sustaining the [a] vowel for 5 seconds “with their best classical production and habitual mouth opening” on A440. A sound level meter was used to track SPL during all recordings. This process was repeated using the [a] vowel with a narrow (1.5 cm) mouth opening at the mid-point of the mouth, and with a large (4 cm) mouth opening. The entire procedure was repeated using the [o] vowel. Formant frequencies, vibrato rate, vibrato extent, and vibrato jitter for each vowel and each singer were determined using VoceVista 3.4.3b. Results: Paired sample t-tests indicate that in the majority of cases there was a minimal influence of mouth opening on vibrato extent, rate, and jitter. However, there was a significant difference in vibrato extent between the habitual and wider mouth openings for the [a] vowel. Testing of changes in intensity vibrato as a result of mouth opening variation is ongoing. Conclusion: The effect that mouth opening has on the vibrato extent, rate, and jitter on these vowels in the soprano voice may be minimal, but further exploration of other voice types and vowels is warranted. This pilot study tested a protocol which can be applied to other voice types and vowels in the future. Key words: vibrato, mouth opening, jitter, rate, amplitude, extent Paul M.

Methods: Vocal folds were elongated to 0%, 10%, and 20% in each excised canine larynx. Images of all vocal fold samples under the different elongation degrees were collected using a Bruker BioSpec 9.4T animal MRI system, and the Diffusion Trace and FA were calculated for each sample. The results were compared using a one-way ANOVA to test for significance. Results: In the lamina propria of the vocal folds, there was a significant difference in Diffusion Trace between the 0% and 20% elongation degrees (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in Diffusion Trace between the 0% and 10%, and 10% and 20% elongation degrees (P>0.05). There were significant differences in FA between all three elongation levels (P<0.05). Conclusion: The diffusion tensor imaging MR parameters are effective parameters to measure the structural changes of the vocal folds under different degrees of elongation.

The larynges of six subadult pigs were phonated ex vivo in two preparation stages, with the ventricular folds present (PS1) and removed (PS2). Vocal fold resonances were tested with a laser vibrometer, and a four-mass computational model was created. Highly significant fo differences were found between PS1 and PS2 (means at 93.7 Hz and 409.3 Hz, respectively). Two tissue resonances were found at 115 Hz and 250–290 Hz. The computational model had unique solutions for abducted and adducted ventricular folds at about 150 Hz and 400 Hz, roughly matching the fo measured ex vivo for PS1 and PS2. The differing fo encountered across preparation stages PS1 and PS2 is explained by distinct activation of either a high or a low eigenfrequency mode, depending on the engagement of the ventricular folds. The inability of the investigated larynges to vibrate at frequencies below 250 Hz in PS2 suggests that in vivo low-frequency calls of domestic pigs (pre-eminently grunts) are likely produced with engaged ventricular folds. Allometric comparison suggests that the special “double oscillator” has evolved to prevent signaling disadvantages.

Here we explored the agreement between the response curves provided by the manufacturers with those measured. A female singer, professionally performing in the pop music style, sang an 87 sec long excerpt of a song fifteen times in a professional recording studio. The song was simultaneously picked up by six studio microphones typically used for recording singing plus a measurement microphone as reference (Earthworks SR30). The microphones were placed in two arrangements. One of the microphone arrangements was used in two distances from the singer. The 105 recordings (7 microphones, 5 takes, 2 arrangements, one of which was used in two distances) thus obtained were analyzed in terms of long-term-average spectra (LTAS) with a 1024 point FFT, frequency range 150 Hz – 20 000 Hz. The standard deviation for the mean of the 15 LTAS recorded with the reference microphone was 1.3 dB. This shows that the singer accurately replicated her performance of the song. For each microphone, all 15 LTAS curves were averaged and subtracted from the corresponding average of the reference microphone. The difference thus obtained showed the true frequency curves of the tested studio microphones. In some cases and at some frequencies these curves deviated between +5 and -7dB from the manufacturer’s response curves. The results indicate that microphone response curves provided by manufacturers may have a limited accuracy, confirming that careful listening to the voice quality obtained with a given microphone should be decisive.

The type of the Cricothyroid Joint (CTJ) directly influences the outcome of the pitch elevation which type A having the best outcome. Aim of this study was to analyse the stability of the pitch level of type A CTJ over a long period. Methods/design: Between 2009 and 2018, 22 patients were treated with a CTA. In order to evaluate the CTJ type (type A vs type B/C) a pre- and postoperative HRCT scan was performed in all patients. Preoperatively, all patients underwent speech therapy. Middle speaking level (MSL) was measured before and after speech therapy, and, in addition, pre- and postoperatively (2 days, 30 days, 6 months and annually post-op). Results: The mean of the MSLs before speech therapy was 117Hz (100-130Hz, SD 8Hz), 134Hz (110-160Hz, SD 13Hz) preoperatively, 206Hz (160-360Hz, SD 40Hz) postoperatively (2d, 30d, 6 month, 1 year), after 2years and 5 years in mean 210Hz (190-240Hz).

  • Informant, Vol. 2, Issue 2 Kristen Sullivan, Editor Paul Patinka, Assistant Editor
    InFormant, Vol. 2, Issue 2 Kristen Sullivan, Editor Paul Patinka, Assistant Editor Dear fellow PAVA members, Each year we celebrate World Voice Day (http://world-voice-day.org/) as a way to share our excitement about the voice with each other and the public. The theme of this year's World Voice Day is "One World, Many Voices," which reminds me both of the many different voices that make up our own PAVA community, as well as the value of continually seeking out voices different than our own. In this spirit, this World Voice Day I encourage you to not only reach out and share a link to an event, or a voice science video, or a favorite vocal performance, but also be a good listener to the voices around you. After all, what is the point of having a voice if we are not heard? Our young organization continues to rapidly grow, but we will only do so successfully if we build upon the strong foundation built by our founding members and continue to engage with each other and listen to each others’ voices. I will follow my own advice and hope to hear your voice this World Voice Day. Please contact me at [email protected] with any thoughts, concerns, or ideas you have about PAVA. I would love to hear your voice. Happy World Voice Day! ----------------------------------------------------- Aaron M Johnson, MM, PhD, CCC-SLP President Pan American Vocology Association https://pavavocology.org Science and Research Rachel Hirshorn-Johnston Associate Professor of Voice & Speech Texas Tech University Associate Teacher of Fitzmaurice Voicework® Actor and Dialect Coach Creative research in the field of acting and voice coaching is colorful and wide-ranging.

  • Prestige Label Discography
    Discography of the Prestige Labels Robert S. Weinstock started the New Jazz label in 1949 in New York City. The Prestige label was started shortly afterwards. Originaly the labels were located at 446 West 50th Street, in 1950 the company was moved to 782 Eighth Avenue. Prestige made a couple more moves in New York City but by 1958 it was located at its more familiar address of 203 South Washington Avenue in Bergenfield, New Jersey. Prestige recorded jazz, folk and rhythm and blues. The New Jazz label issued jazz and was used for a few 10 inch album releases in 1954 and then again for as series of 12 inch albums starting in 1958 and continuing until 1964. The artists on New Jazz were interchangeable with those on the Prestige label and after 1964 the New Jazz label name was dropped. Early on, Weinstock used various New York City recording studios including Nola and Beltone, but he soon started using the Rudy van Gelder studio in Hackensack New Jersey almost exclusively. Rudy van Gelder moved his studio to Englewood Cliffs New Jersey in 1959, which was close to the Prestige office in Bergenfield. Producers for the label, in addition to Weinstock, were Chris Albertson, Ozzie Cadena, Esmond Edwards, Ira Gitler, Cal Lampley Bob Porter and Don Schlitten. Rudy van Gelder engineered most of the Prestige recordings of the 1950’s and 60’s. The line-up of jazz artists on Prestige was impressive, including Gene Ammons, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin, Art Farmer, Red Garland, Wardell Gray, Richard “Groove” Holmes, Milt Jackson and the Modern Jazz Quartet, “Brother” Jack McDuff, Jackie McLean, Thelonious Monk, Don Patterson, Sonny Rollins, Shirley Scott, Sonny Stitt and Mal Waldron.
