Abstract

The present study sought to examine the relation between Wilson Voice Profile ratings and certain aerodynamic and acoustic variables. Subjects in this study were 20 adults with voice disorders and five adults with no voice disorders. A series of stepwise multiple correlations were used. The variance in perceptual ratings accounted for by aerodynamic and acoustic variables included in the present study ranged from 29% for tension ratings of connected speech to 81% for pitch ratings of connected speech for the female speakers. It is clear from the present findings that ratings on the Wilson Voice Profile are only partially accounted for by the variables included in the present study.
