|
t/f A client must consult with an ENT prior to having a voice evaluation
|
False. There is "no" regulation, however, a physician examination is ASHA's preferred practice
|
|
|
What is NATS?
|
National Association of Teachers of Singing
|
|
|
What is VASTA?
|
Voice and Speech Trainers Association
|
|
|
What is the role of the SLP in voice clients?
|
The role is rehabilitation of the speaking voice related to disorders of maturation and function, with special attention to prevention and remediation of voice disorders to restore and maintain normal voice.
|
|
|
What is the role of teachers of singing?
|
Development of the voice to its max function for use in singing with attention given to the development of full pitch and dynamic range, artistic quality and vocal endurance of the singing voice.
|
|
|
what is the role of the voice and speech trainers, teachers, and coaches?
|
development of the normal speaking voice to its max potentialfor use in performance, public address and teaching.
|
|
|
What are the 2 basic divisions of voice disorders?
|
functional
organic |
|
|
functional voice disorders are directly attributed to:
|
Misuse and/or abuse of the vocal mechanism.
Includes all age groups (3% are children) Musculo-skeletal tension is primary issue of concern |
|
|
Organic voice disorders are directly related to:
|
laryngeal pathology, disease, medical or surgical events.
e.g. viral diseases, laryngitis |
|
|
Define misuse in relation to the voice
|
Distortion of the mechanism
e.g. children playing & making noises, singers distort to obtain certain quality |
|
|
define abuse in relation to the voice
|
Using the mechanism improperly
e.g. too much (loudness, pitch) |
|
|
Frequency of vibration determined by vocal fold:
|
1. tension
2. mass 3. length 4. shape of vocal tract 5. air flow & subglottic pressure |
|
|
What is the difference between frequency and pitch?
|
Frequency is measureable
Pitch is perceptual |
|
|
What is the FRP?
|
Frequency range of phonation: range of frequency a person can produce, from the lowest tone in the modal range to the highest in falsetto
|
|
|
What are the 2 types of FRP?
|
Physiological frequency range of phonation
Musical frequency range of phonation |
|
|
What does GRBAS stand for? What is it used for?
|
Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Aesthenics, Strain
This is a scale used as a perceptual evaluation of a client's voice. |
|
|
What is the VHI?
|
Voice Handicap Index.
An evaluation that the client completes regarding their self-perception of their voice disorder. |
|
|
What is the rationale for finding the client's FRP?
|
To determine if the range of phonation the client is capable.
|
|
|
What is normal FRF?
|
2.5-3 octaves (or 36 semitones).
|
|
|
How do you calculate octaves?
|
Octaves = count the number of white keys on the piano between the max. and min. freqs and divide by 8
|
|
|
How do you calculate semitones?
|
Count all white and black keys on the piano between the max and min freq values (divide by 12).
|
|
|
T/F When reporting the FRP average the trials.
|
False, take max value and min value.
|
|
|
T/F Do not subtract values when calculating the FRP.
|
True, this would be pure nonsense.
|
|
|
What is glissando?
|
Musical term that refers to continuous sliding from one pitch to another.
|
|
|
Describe optimal or best pitch.
|
This is 4-6 tones from the basal or lowest clear tone of this range.
|
|
|
What is the habitual pitch?
|
The most frequently occurring pitch during speech (the mean Fo) It is not a range.
|
|
|
If there is extreme high or low habitual pitch this could....
|
Be due to musculo-skeletal tension on larynx
Be hard on vocal folds to hold in one position Be a risk for a voice disorder |
|
|
What are the norms regarding Fo for males and females according to Casper and Colton?
|
Male: 90-146 cps (mean 100)
Female: 180-261 cps (mean 220) |
|
|
What is fundamental frequency (Fo)?
|
The most commonly occurring frequency
|
|
|
What are the three vocal registers discussed in class?
|
Vocal fry
Modal Falsetto |
|
|
What is vocal fry?
|
aka glottal fry.
Is normal, produced below clear basal. Pulsated vocal fold vibrations. Usually tight approx of VF but flaccid vocal margins. little air pressure and flow. |
|
|
T/F Vocal fry is used as a treatment technique for hyperfunction voice disorders.
|
True, i.e. vocal nodules
|
|
|
What are the three extremes of modal register?
|
chest, mid, head
|
