Normative voice range profiles of male and female professional voice users.

Abstract Normative voice range profiles (VRP) are calculated for a group of male and female teachers, based on 43 and 46 recordings, respectively. All individuals had healthy voices. These normative VRPs contain 95% prediction intervals for both frequency and intensity. They are based on a series of mathematical transformations of the original individual VRPs in order to maintain in the normative VRPs the typical oval VRP shape, including the dip between modal and falsetto register. The normative VRPs presented are directly applicable in the clinical practice of otolaryngologists and speech-language pathologists.
