Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this document is threefold: (a) review the uses of the terms “vocal fatigue,” “vocal effort,” “vocal load,” and “vocal loading” (as found in the literature) in order to track the occurrence and the related evolution of research; (b) present a “linguistically modeled” definition of the same from the review of literature on the terms; and (c) propose conceptualized definitions of the concepts. Method A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Scientific Electronic Library Online. Four terms (“vocal fatigue,” “vocal effort,” “vocal load,” and “vocal loading”), as well as possible variants, were included in the search, and their usages were compiled into conceptual definitions. Finally, a focus group of eight experts in the field (current authors) worked together to make conceptual connections and proposed consensus definitions. Results The occurrence and frequency of “vocal load,” “vocal loading,” “vocal effort,” and “vocal fatigue” in the literature are presented, and summary definitions are developed. The results indicate that these terms appear to be often interchanged with blurred distinctions. Therefore, the focus group proposes the use of two new terms, “vocal demand” and “vocal demand response,” in place of the terms “vocal load” and “vocal loading.” We also propose standardized definitions for all four concepts. Conclusion Through a comprehensive literature search, the terms “vocal fatigue,” “vocal effort,” “vocal load,” and “vocal loading” were explored, new terms were proposed, and standardized definitions were presented. Future work should refine these proposed definitions as research continues to address vocal health concerns.

Abstract:
Singing as both an art form and physical activity demands a level of health and skill fitness to meet performance demands. The determination of performance fitness relies on performers' self-evaluations of their vocal capacity for performance, based, amongst other factors, on the current vocal status and ability to manage the associated vocal load. Measurement of load and the impact on the vocal mechanism is complex and influenced by many intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Researchers have attempted to quantify vocal load effects by measuring physical impact stress on the vocal folds, self-reported perceived exertion, and/or clinical evaluation of physiologic, acoustic, or perceptual changes. Most studies have been conducted in laboratory rather than in performance contexts and studies on singers are substantially lacking. Heavy vocal load has been causally associated with the development of voice disorders, although the exact relationship and thresholds for acquiring laryngeal pathology require further elucidation, and little is also known about the development of voice disorders among singers. Further understanding of the short-term and cumulative effect on the vocal folds of performing as a singer and the nature and prevalence of voice problems among singers is crucial to the determination of appropriate prevention and therapeutic management.

Abstract:
Purpose Although a global picture exists of teachers' voice demands in general, few studies have compared specific groups of teachers to determine whether some are more at risk than others. This study compared the vocal loadings of kindergarten and elementary school teachers; professional and nonprofessional vocal load were determined for both groups. Method Twelve kindergarten and 20 elementary school female teachers without voice problems were monitored during 1 workweek using the Ambulatory Phonation Monitor. Vocal loading parameters analyzed were F0, SPL, time dose, distance dose, and cycle dose. Results Comparisons between the groups showed significantly higher cycle dose and distance dose for kindergarten teachers than for elementary school teachers, in both professional and nonprofessional environments. Professional and nonprofessional voice use comparisons showed significant differences for all parameters, indicating that vocal load was higher in the professional environment for both groups. Conclusions The higher vocal doses measured in kindergarten teachers suggest that particular attention should be paid to this specific group of teachers. Although nonprofessional vocal load is lower than professional vocal load, it is important to take both into account because of their cumulative effects.

AbstractIntroductionThe voice represents a basic working tool for carrying out certain occupations. Hoarseness, as a consequence of vocal fold lesions, presents an important cause of work-related absences for voice professionals.MethodsOur study was designed as a retrospective cohort one. Data on gender, workplace, vocal load and exposure to risk factors for voice disorders of the patients who had surgery in the 2014-2015 period at the tertiary centre due to benign vocal fold lesions were collected from their clinical records. We compared professional voice users (PVU) to subjects with no vocal load at work (NPVU). The SPSS programme, version 22.0, was used for statistical analysis.ResultsFrom 2014 to 2015, 103 PVU and 132 NPVU were surgically treated for benign vocal fold lesions. In comparison to the second group, loud speech use was reported significantly more often by PVU (40.8% vs. 14.4%), as was a fast speaking rate (22.3% vs. 9.8%) and additional vocal load outside of the workplace (23.3% vs. 12.9%). The time that had passed between the occurrence of the hoarseness and the surgical treatment did not differ between the groups. The majority of patients were satisfied with the outcome of the operation.ConclusionsNearly a half of the operated patients had a considerable vocal load at work. An ENT assessment prior to starting a job as well as priority phoniatric treatment of voice disorders for PVU would significantly reduce the costs of work absences and contribute to a speedier recovery and return to the workplace.

Abstract:
Introduction.The study is aimed to determine possible use of vocal signal analysis for diagnosis of functional states in air traffic control operators, with justifying selection of informative parameters of intonation structure of speech.Materials and methods.Experiments on semi-natural simulator complex with participation of 16 air traffic male dispatchers modelled occupational activity of air traffic dispatcher with moderate (6 aircrafts controlled) and intense (7–12 aircrafts controlled) work load. Duration of simulated working shiftwas 6 hours. Registration covered characteristics of main vocal tone of the examinees, with calculation of 8 jitter-factors that portrayed mirco-changes of main vocal tone curve and 2 tremor indices disclosing periodic waves of 4–16 Hz in main vocal tone curve. Functional state of the dispatchers was assessed via cardiac rhythm parameters. Reliability and work capacity of the dispatchers corresponded to correct radio traffi c, changes in threshold of reception and transfer of aircrafts in number of allowable dangerous approach of aircrafts, time to detection of input aircraft’s deviation from preset flight line.Results and discussion.According to analysis of the experiments results, some parameters of the main vocal tone carried significant changes both in first (simulated moderate work load) and second (simulated intense work load) experimental series.The data obtained prove lower level of psychic regulation of the dispatchers’ occupational activity during 3rd to 5thhours of “working shift” in the first experimental series and from 2nd to 4thhours of the second experimental series, due to decreased psychophysiologic resources and developing fatigue.Conclusion.Studies of changes in indicators of intonation structure of speech in occupational activity of air traffic dispatchers demonstrated that using such indicators provides adequate diagnosis of the functional state. The most informative indicators are average value, histogram asymmetry and excessive frequency of main vocal tone, duration of pauses between words of the dispatchers’ commands and fi ft h jitter-factor.

Abstract:
Les exigences opérationnelles du métier de pilote sont susceptibles d'engendrer de la somnolence et des niveaux de charge mentale inadéquats (i.e., trop faible ou trop élevé) au cours des vols. Les dettes de sommeil et les perturbations circadiennes liées à divers facteurs (e.g., longues périodes de services, horaires de travail irrégulier, etc.) demandent aux pilotes de repousser sans cesse leurs limites biologiques. Par ailleurs, la charge de travail mental des pilotes présente de fortes variations au cours d'un vol : élevée au cours des phases critiques (i.e., décollage et atterrissage), elle devient très réduite pendant les phases de croisière. Lorsque la charge mentale devient trop élevée ou, à l'inverse, trop faible, les performances se dégradent et des erreurs de pilotage peuvent apparaître. La mise en oeuvre de méthodes de détection de l'état de somnolence et du niveau de charge mentale en temps quasi réel est un défi majeur pour le suivi et le contrôle de l'activité de pilotage. L'objectif de la thèse est de déterminer si la voix humaine peut permettre de détecter d'une part, l'état de somnolence et d'autre part, le niveau de charge mentale d'un individu. Dans une première étude, la voix de participants a été enregistrée lors d'une tâche de lecture avant et après une nuit de privation totale de sommeil (PTS). Les variations de l'état de somnolence consécutives à la PTS ont été évaluées au moyen de mesures auto-évaluatives et électrophysiologiques (ÉlectroEncéphaloGraphie [EEG] et Potentiels Évoqués [PEs]). Les résultats ont montré une variation significative après la PTS de plusieurs paramètres acoustiques liés : (a) à l'amplitude des impulsions glottiques (fréquence de modulation d'amplitude), (b) à la forme du signal acoustique (longueur euclidienne du signal et ses caractéristiques associées) et (c) au spectre du signal des voyelles (rapport harmonique sur bruit, fréquence du second formant, coefficient d'asymétrie, centre de gravité spectral, différences d'énergie, pente spectrale et coefficients cepstraux à échelle Mel). La plupart des caractéristiques spectrales ont montré une sensibilité différente à la privation de sommeil en fonction du type de voyelles. Des corrélations significatives ont été mises en évidence entre plusieurs paramètres acoustiques et plusieurs indicateurs objectifs (EEG et PEs) de l'état de somnolence. Dans une seconde étude, le signal vocal a été enregistré durant une tâche de rappel de listes de mots. La difficulté de la tâche était manipulée en faisant varier le nombre de mots dans chaque liste (i.e., entre un et sept, correspondant à sept conditions de charge mentale). Le diamètre pupillaire - qui est un indicateur objectif pertinent du niveau de charge mentale - a été mesuré simultanément avec l'enregistrement de la voix afin d'attester de la variation du niveau de charge mentale durant la tâche expérimentale. Les résultats ont montré que des paramètres acoustiques classiques (fréquence fondamentale et son écart type, shimmer, nombre de périodes et rapport harmonique sur bruit) et originaux (fréquence de modulation d'amplitude et variations à court-terme de la longueur euclidienne du signal) ont été particulièrement sensibles aux variations de la charge mentale. Les variations de ces paramètres acoustiques étaient corrélées à celles du diamètre pupillaire. L'ensemble des résultats suggère que les paramètres acoustiques de la voix humaine identifiés lors des expérimentations pourraient représenter des indicateurs pertinents pour la détection de l'état de somnolence et du niveau de charge mentale d'un individu. Les résultats ouvrent de nombreuses perspectives de recherche et d'applications dans le domaine de la sécurité des transports, notamment dans le secteur aéronautique
Operational requirements of aircraft pilots may cause drowsiness and inadequate mental load levels (i.e., too low or too high) during flights. Sleep debts and circadian disruptions linked to various factors (e.g., long working periods, irregular work schedules, etc.) require pilots to challenge their biological limits. Moreover, pilots' mental workload exhibits strong fluctuations during flights: higher during critical phases (i.e., takeoff and landing), it becomes very low during cruising phases. When the mental load becomes too high or, conversely, too low, performance decreases and flight errors may manifest. Implementation of detection methods of drowsiness and mental load levels in near real time is a major challenge for monitoring and controlling flight activity. The aim of this thesis is therefore to determine if the human voice can serve to detect on one hand the drowsiness and on the other hand the mental load level of an individual. In a first study, the voice of participants was recorded during a reading task before and after a night of total sleep deprivation (TSD). Drowsiness variations linked to TSD were assessed using self-evaluative and electrophysiological measures (ElectroEncephaloGraphy [EEG] and Evoked Potentials [EPs]). Results showed significant variations after the TSD in many acoustic features related to: (a) the amplitude of the glottal pulses (amplitude modulation frequency), (b) the shape of the acoustic wave (Euclidean length of the signal and its associated features) and (3) the spectrum of the vowel signal (harmonic-to-noise ratio, second formant frequency, skewness, spectral center of gravity, energy differences, spectral tilt and Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients). Most spectral features showed different sensitivity to sleep deprivation depending on the vowel type. Significant correlations were found between several acoustic features and several objective indicators (EEG and PEs) of drowsiness. In a second study, voices were recorded during a task featuring word-list recall. The difficulty of the task was manipulated by varying the number of words in each list (i.e., between one and seven, corresponding to seven mental load conditions). Evoked pupillary response - known to be a useful proxy of mental load - was recorded simultaneously with speech to attest variations in mental load level during the experimental task. Results showed that classical features (fundamental frequency and its standard deviation, shimmer, number of periods and harmonic-to-noise ratio) and original features (amplitude modulation frequency and short-term variation in digital amplitude length) were particularly sensitive to variations in mental load. Variations in these acoustic features were correlated to those of the pupil size. Results suggest that the acoustic features of the human voice identified during these experiments could represent relevant indicators for the detection of drowsiness and mental load levels of an individual. Findings open up many research and applications perspectives in the field of transport safety, particularly in the aeronautical sector

Abstract:
Detta är en kvalitativ studie med kvantitativa inslag med syftet att undersöka sångares upplevelser avnedsjungning efter högintensiv sång. Till en början har specifikt designade sångövningar förmedlats till sex medverkande sångare om fyra kvinnor och två män under individuella sånglektioner. Deltagarna har i en variant av crossover design skattat sin dagliga rösthälsa i EASE- självskattningsformulär för friska röster. Testperioden om tre veckor följdes sedan av kvalitativa intervjuer. Resultat visar att även om sångares vardag är komplex, i och med inre och yttre påverkande faktorer, har nedsjungning en upplevd effekt i avseendet förbättrad rösthälsa efter högintensiv sång. Detta gäller särskilt de kvinnliga sångarna som beskriver att nedsjungning bidragit till en mer samlad röst med minskad heshet och svullnad. Vidare rapporteras om större lätthet inför att sjunga i lägre delen av bröstregistret, en mer egaliserad röst och en förbättrad tal- och magstödsteknik tillsammans med större lätthet inför påföljande sångpass. Nedsjungning ses också ha skapat ett andrum i vardagen där minskad stress, prestationskrav och resultatinriktning omvänts till en samlad känsla av avslut. Likväl är begrepp som nedsjungning, att sjunga ned, kyla ned, eller att stretcha rösten nya begrepp som rekommenderas att vidare studeras och förmedlas till elever och studenter, framför allt då föreliggande studies resultat visar tydliga attitydskillnader avseende rösthälsa och röstvård emellan de olika könen.
This is a study regarding singers' experiences of a vocal-cool down routine preceded with a heavy vocal load. The study is mainly based on a qualitative approach with quantitative elements. At first individual singing lessons where held, whereas specifically designed vocal-cool down exercises were taught to six participating singers; four women and two men. With a modification of a crossover design the singers in this study have estimated their daily voice health in the Evaluation of the Ability to Sing Easily survey (EASE). After a three week period of tests the singers were interviewed. The result of this study shows that even if singers' everyday lives are complex due to internal and external factors, vocal- cool down where perceived as an improvement of voice health. It is mainly the female singers' that describes an increased vocal well-being, with less hoarseness and swollen vocal folds after a heavy vocal load, followed by a vocal -cool down routine. Furthermore a greater sense of ease was reported in terms of transitions between registers in the singing voice, where fatigue in the surrounding muscles also decreased alongside with a positive impact on the speaking voice, reaching lower notes in chest register and extended diaphragm breathing. The vocal cool-down routine itself also gave an unexpected finding in terms of being contemplative and relaxing for the singers; creating a breathing space in everyday life where stress, performance anxiety and other concerns where easier to let go of, with an overall feeling of closure. Vocal cool down, cooling down the voice, vocal stretch, or warming down your voice are all relatively new concepts that are recommended to be studied further, spread and taught to students and pupils, - especially as the result in this study indicates clear differences in attitudes regarding voice health in-between the male and female genders.

Abstract:
This chapter introduces works by Lyell Cresswell. His use of the voice as showcased in this chapter is highly imaginative and often demanding. The refreshingly uninhibited musical style defies easy categorization, but displays signs of an iconoclasm developed by Charles Ives. Cresswell achieves its effect by relatively simple means, including repetition. All the songs are brief yet sharply contrasted, and they convey a heady religious fervour that carries all before it. The third perhaps requires the most vocal virtuosity, and the sixth needs considerable stamina to bring it off, especially in some crucially loud spoken (shouted) passages. The final movement is a test of quick rhythmic articulation. The piano’s contribution is brimming with energy and drama, responding and adapting adroitly to the texts’ changing moods.

Abstract:
This chapter explores a contemporary work for contralto by William Mathias. The piece runs in a continuous span, but contains many contrasting sections within it. Although conceived for a rich, low voice, it also requires the lightness and agility to articulate swift staccato passages with aplomb. The highest pitches are at a loud dynamic. Otherwise, the contralto’s strong chest register is exploited rewardingly. A good deal of stamina is required to sustain and conserve energy through a welter of varied gestures and moods, which are enhanced by a striking piano part. The musical language is ‘advanced traditional’. It should prove an excellent vehicle for an enterprising duo able to give an authoritative interpretation. The inspiring text is an additional asset.

Abstract:
This chapter addresses French-American composer Betsy Jolas’s L’Œil égaré (1961–2002), a powerful cycle written over a wide span of years. In this piece, the composer’s bold, innovative spirit bursts from every page. A welter of technical, musical, and interpretative challenges are offered, but these should not daunt advanced singers with a high standard of musicianship. The six short settings are full of contrasts within a richly diverse stylistic palette. There is, however, a keen awareness of practicality regarding the baritone range—the few instances of upper and lower extremes are approached either via portamentos or loud climaxes when energy level is high. Each movement is vivid enough to be performed individually. The texts resonate with colourful imagery. To sing in the original language is, of course, ideal, but the composer’s translations are impressive in managing to preserve their heightened lyricism and searching insights, as well as matching small subtleties of syllabic emphasis.

Abstract:
This chapter examines British composer Stephen Barchan’s Two Songs about Spiders (2010/2011), an enchanting little piece with a growing reputation. These vivid settings of well-loved nursery rhymes—including Little Miss Muffet and Itsy Bitsy Spider—will make an ideal encore after a demanding recital, but could serve equally well as an ‘appetizer’ at the start of a programme. The vocal writing certainly stretches the singer’s technical control and range, and a mezzo might be well suited to it, in view of the many low-lying passages. However, a soprano’s agility will be an advantage. Although its duration is only three minutes, the piece is packed with inventive detail, and dynamics and timbres change with breathtaking rapidity. The musical idiom is atonal and highly chromatic, but cohesive; intervals seem logical and are often repeated. Exciting leaps and scoops abound, with liberal use of glissandos, which helps considerably when approaching extremes of register. Some loud, single-note attacks will need care to conserve air and prevent them splintering under pressure.

The challenging task with utterance recognition models given for the language nature whereby there’re nope apparent limits among words, an acoustic start with ending are impacted through the neighboring words, also, with various talkers utterance: female/male, senior/young, low/loud utterance, read/spontaneous, fast/slow vocalizing proportion and the utterance sign could be influenced by ambient noise. Accordingly, utterance recognition was exceeding abound of such challenges. To avert particular problems, information steered statistical curriculum built on considerable amounts of vocalized data has been utilized. With this itemize, the aim is to reconnoiter creativity that has making these implements plausible. Utterance recognition and language comprehension have been two important reconnoitering antes thereupon has normally been logged nearer as matters with indicatively and audio vocal, whereby the domain for audio vocal data have stayed introduced as robust impact to the matter thru drib accomplishment. Hence, we amid about determinate methods to utterances and language manipulating, whereby a data around a talking sign and a language that it converses, adjoining thru valuable utilized of information, is established come from inherent recognition of utterance data thru an understandable math-statistical formality.

Abstract:
Abstract Where Donne advocates an attitude to liturgical worship that is shaped by the act of engaging with figured speech, Chapter 2 proposes that Herbert’s poetics take the inverse approach. By reading The Temple alongside the multivocal music-making that was gaining increasing attention in the liturgy of the late-sixteenth-century English church, the chapter argues that Herbert’s verse presents such musical occasions both as communal prayers to be heard and as attempts to figure forth God’s response. In so doing, however, Herbert hints that these attempts can be devotionally self-defeating, making worshippers less able to appreciate the complex nature of their union with God amidst the loud noise of their music of praise. By contrast, the language on the poetic page more boldly brings God into the vocal mix, often by dismissing the distracting potential of literal music.

Abstract:
This chapter considers the relationship between embodiment and dialogue in American independent cinema, arguing that such filmmakers and performers can aim to create the impression of character interiority and performer improvisation. For example, speech can be scripted to changes direction, while actors are called upon to deliver dialogue as though thinking ‘out loud’. In addition to exploring distinctive verbal and/or vocal styles (including a notably fast-paced delivery), the chapter pays particular attention to the expressiveness of hands and mouths. It is argued that gesticulation – or talking with one’s hands – can contribute a sense of live thought to rehearsed dialogue. The analysis includes case studies of the performance styles of Chris Eigeman and Greta Gerwig, whose distinctive voices and delivery are tied to their success as independent film actors. Through consultation with screenplays and interviews, the chapters reveals how independent writer-directors increase their influence on dialogue embodiment by scheduling long rehearsal periods and through written script directions.

Abstract:
Tensile loading is a common physiological condition of peripheral nerves but can induce pathologic effects. Significant defects in nerve conduction have been reported for strains as low as ∼6% greater than the in situ strain [1]. In order to better understand the functional deficits resulting from tensile loading of nerve tissue, biomechanical testing is performed. The long-term goal of this research is to develop a constitutive and a computational model of the biomechanical properties of the “packaging,” or connective tissues of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) to investigate their role in the onset of unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVP). The vocal folds are important for protection of the airway during swallowing, the regulation of breathing, and for voice production. Although surgery is most often linked to onset of UVP, the cause remains unknown in a large percentage of those with this disorder. Recent research has suggested that individuals with idiopathic UVP may have damage to the RLN at the level of the aortic arch related to a thoracic aneurysm. Our preliminary work has resulted in the conclusion that connective tissues of the RLN exhibit different biomechanical properties in the region of the aortic arch [2]. An aneurysm would impose increased stress and strain on the RLN where it is adjacent to the aorta resulting in impaired nerve function. The primary goal of this study is to identify the relationship between the biomechanical response of RLN tissue and how it response is governed by load dependent underlying extracellular matrix (collagen) organization. We hypothesize that regional differences exist in the microstructure and/or biomechanical response of the RLN and that these differences play a role in the onset of idiopathic UVP.

Abstract:
Music psychologists have frequently shown that music affects people’s behaviour. Applying this concept to work-related computing tasks has the potential to lead to improvements in a person’s productivity, efficiency and effectiveness. This paper presents two quantitative experiments exploring whether transcription typing performance is affected when hearing a music accompaniment that includes vocals. The first experiment showed that classifying the typists as either slow or fast ability is important as there were significant interaction effects once this between group factor was included, with the accuracy of fast typists reduced when the music contained vocals. In the second experiment, a Dutch transcription typing task was added to manipulate task difficulty and the volume of playback was included as a between groups independent variable. When typing in Dutch the fast typists’ speed was reduced with louder music. When typing in English the volume of music had little effect on typing speed for either the fast or slow typists. The fast typists achieved lower speeds when the loud volume music contained vocals, but with low volume music the inclusion of vocals in the background music did not have a noticeable affect on typing speed. The presence of vocals in the music reduced the accuracy of the text entry across the whole sample. Overall, these experiments show that the presence of vocals in background music reduces typing performance, but that we might be able to exploit instrumental music to improve performance in tasks involving typing with either low or high volume music.

Abstract:
Abstract The significance of respiratory droplet transmission in spreading respiratory diseases such as COVID-19 has been identified by researchers. Although one cough or sneeze generates a large number of respiratory droplets, they are usually infrequent. In comparison, speaking and singing generate fewer droplets, but occur much more often, highlighting their potential as a vector for airborne transmission. However, the flow dynamics of speech and the transmission of speech droplets have not been fully investigated. To shed light on this topic, two-dimensional geometries of a vocal tract for a labiodental fricative [f] were generated based on real-time MRI of a subject during pronouncing [f]. In these models, two different curvatures were considered for the tip tongue shape and the lower lip to highlight the effects of the articulator geometries on transmission dynamics. The commercial ANSYS-Fluent CFD software was used to solve the complex expiratory speech airflow trajectories. Simultaneously, the discrete phase model of the software was used to track submicron and large size respiratory droplets exhaled during [f] utterance. The simulations were performed for high, normal, and low lung pressures to explore the influence of loud, normal, and soft utterances, respectively, on the airflow dynamics. The presented results demonstrate the variability of the airflow and droplet propagation as a function of the vocal tract geometrical characteristics and loudness.
