A new method is presented for the parameterization of glottal volume velocity waveforms that have been estimated by inverse filtering acoustic speech pressure signals. The new technique, Parameter for Spectral and Amplitude Features of the Glottal Flow (PSA), combines two features of voice production, the AC value and the spectral decay of the glottal flow, both of which contribute to changes in vocal loudness. PSA yields a single parameter that characterizes the glottal flow in different loudness conditions. By analyzing voices of 8 speakers it was shown that the new parameter correlates strongly with the sound pressure level of speech.

The purpose of this investigation was to document acoustic characteristics of Pakistani English (PaKE) vowel sounds. The experiment was designed to examine the properties of ten vowels produced by Pakistani ESL learners. The analysis is based on the voice samples of recorded 50 CVC words. Total 5000 (10  10  50=5000) voiced samples were analyzed. The data consisted of 50 words of ten English vowel sounds [i: ɪ e ɔ: æ ə ɑ: u: ɒ ʊ]. Ten ESL speakers recorded their voice samples on Praat speech processing tool installed on laptop. Three parameters were considered i.e., fundamental frequency (F0), vowel quality (F1-F2) and duration. Formant patterns were judged manually by visual inspection on Praat Speech Processing Tool. Analysis of formant frequency shows numerous differences between male and female of F1 and F2, fundamental frequency and duration of English vowels. The voice samples provide evidence for higher and lower frequency of vowel sounds. Additionally, the data analysis illustrates that there were statistical differences in the values of short and long vowels coupled with vowel space plot showing explicit differences in locating the production of vowels of male & female vowel space acoustic realizations.

Following Botulinum Toxin Type A injection, glottal competency of an adductor spasmodic dysphonia patient is thought to vary over a wide range. This study quantifies variability in laryngeal adduction for one such patient over a 10-week period. Analyses of kinematic and aerodynamic measures were used to track the voice weekly. The measures included the electroglottographic waveform width (EGGW50), nondimensional electroglottographic slope quotient (SLQ), glottal flow open quotient (FOQ), dc glottal flow, and nondimensional glottal flow peak quotient (FPQ). The results suggested that change in degree of glottal adduction over time can be observed even when vocal instability is present within each recording session. Perceptual ratings of vocal quality (breathy to pressed) were related to the laryngeal measures. The coefficient of variation for EGGW50 and the percentage of dichrotic phonations reached minima during sessions with predominantly breathy and hypoadducted phonation. The methods used in this study show potential to aid decisions about dose level and sources of perceptual adductor spasmodic dysphonia symptoms for a given patient.
