Differences in acoustic and perceptual parameters of the voice between elderly and young women at habitual and high intensity

The present study aimed to compare elderly and young female voices in habitual and high intensity. The effect of increased intensity on the acoustic and perceptual parameters was assessed. Sound pressure level, fundamental frequency, jitter, shimmer, and harmonic to noise ratio were obtained at habitual and high intensity voice in a group of 30 elderly women and 30 young women. Perceptual assessment was also performed. Both groups demonstrated an increase in sound pressure level and fundamental frequency from habitual voice to high intensity voice. No differences were found between groups in any acoustic variables on samples recorded with habitual intensity level. No significant differences between groups were found in habitual intensity level for pitch, hoarseness, roughness, and breathiness. Asthenia and instability obtained significant higher values in elderly than young participants, whereas, the elderly demonstrated lower values for perceived tension and loudness than young subjects. Acoustic and perceptual measures do not demonstrate evident differences between elderly and young speakers in habitual intensity level. The parameters analyzed may lack the sensitivity necessary to detect differences in subjects with normal voices. Phonation with high intensity highlights differences between groups, especially in perceptual parameters. Therefore, high intensity should be included to compare elderly and young voice.

A contribuição do projeto de identidade coorporativa na redução da poluição visual

Among Richard Wagner´s work output one finds the Tetralogy The Ring of the Nibelung, composed of four stories interconnected by the same plot. The theme is mythological and involves dramatis personae taken from the nordic universe. This article examines Erda, one of the protagonists of the story as she is called in the musical drama. This article will consist of a series of pertinent questions posed in order to fully understanding of the character and its role in the plot, the vocal type assigned to it and the co-relation between its Leitmotiv and the musical interweaving created by the composer, besides exploring other themes that bear direct relationship with the same.
