The present research investigated the characteristics of voice between genders and nationalities by measuring the acoustic parameter values of Korean and Chinese students. Sound Forge was used to collect voice samples and Praat was used to measure and analyze jitter, shimmer, NHR, sF?, and pitch range. The results of this research are a follows. First, during prolongation of the vowels, there was no significant difference in F? between Korean and Chinese males and Korean and Chinese females. Korean males and females had higher F? values than Chinese males and females. Secondly, during sentence reading, there was no significant difference between Korean and Chinese males in sF?. But between female groups, there was a significant difference in sF?. Thirdly, during sentence reading, the pitch range in Korean males was found to be narrower compared to Korean and Chinese females who had wider pitch range, showing a significant difference. Fourthly, jitter in the five vowels /a, i, u, e, o/ was found to be higher in Chinese than Korean subjects. In the vowels /a, e, u/ females were higher than males showing a significant difference. Fifthly, shimmer in the vowels /a, e, u/ was found to be higher in Chinese than Korean subjects showing a significant difference. Finally, NHR in the vowels /a, u, o/ was found to be higher in Chinese than Korean subjects showing a significant difference.
