Vocal Demands Among Classroom Teachers

The purpose of the study "A comparison of vocal demands with vocal performance among classroom teachers" is to gather information about the voice production of teachers using three separate strategies: (a) measures of voice assessed with the Computerized Speech Lab (CSL) and the Phonatory Aerodynamic System (PAS) instruments in the SIUC Voice Lab.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

Acoustic measures of voice.

Time frame: 1 year

Acoustic measures of voice (i.e., fundamental frequency, total phonation time, and SPL. Participants will be tested three separate times distributed in equal periods throughout one academic semester (i.e., 16 weeks).

Secondary outcomes

Identify changes in aerodynamic measures of voice.

Time frame: 1 year

Identify changes in aerodynamic measures of voice (airflow). Participants will be tested three separate times distributed in equal periods throughout one academic semester (i.e., 16 weeks).
