Abstract

This study compared voice range profiles (VRPs) of modal and falsetto register in 53 dysphonic and 53 non-dysphonic adult women with gliding vowel /a/’. The results shows that maximum fundamental frequency (F0MAX), maximum intensity (IMAX), F0 range (F0RANGE), and intensity range (IRANGE) are lower in the dysphonic group than in the non-dysphonic group. F0MAX and F0RANGE are significantly higher in falsetto register than modal register in both groups. IMAX and IRANGE are significantly higher in falsetto register in the non-dysphonic group, but those are not different between two registers in the dysphonic group. There was no statistically significant difference in minimum F0 (F0MIN) and minimum intensity (IMIN) between the two groups. Modal-falsetto register transition occurred at 378.86 Hz (F4#) in the dysphonic group and 557.79 Hz (C5#) in the non-dysphonic group, which was significantly lower in the dysphonic group. It can be seen that both modal and falsetto registers in dysphonic adult women are reduced compared to non-dysphoinc adult women, indicating that the vocal folds of dysphonic adult women are not easy to vibrate in high pitches. The results of this study would be the basic data for understanding the acoustic features of voice disorders.
