Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This research aims to evaluate the effects of vocal conditioning through two semioccluded vocal tract exercises (SOVTE) in choir singers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This research aims to evaluate the effects of vocal conditioning through two semioccluded vocal tract exercises (SOVTE) - Finnish tube and phonation in high strength straw - in vocal parameters, vocal extension profile and maximum phonation time for a period of four months in a group of singers. acoustic analysis will be performed of the average parameters of the fundamental frequency (F0), jitter, shimmer and glottal to Noise Excitation (GNE) by VoxMetria program and perceptual analysis through Consensus Assessment Perceptual Hearing the Voice Protocol (CAPE-V) three times: before the vocal conditioning, after the last meeting of the technical realization and a week after the vocal conditioning period.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group 1

20 individuals of Coral UFCSPA without voice problems carry out the exercise with Finnish tube before choir practice once a week for a period of 14 weeks. The exercise will be carried out with blowing set to sound at regular frequency, with frequency variation and with the melody of "Happy Birthday"; each sequence will be held for 2 minutes with 1 minute interval between them.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Finnish tube

Intervention Type OTHER

Practice the exercise with Finnish tube before choir practice once a week for a period of 14 weeks.

Group 2

20 individuals of Coral UFCSPA without voice problems carry out the exercise straw phonation before choir practice once a week for a period of 14 weeks. The exercise will be carried out with blowing set to sound at regular frequency, with frequency variation and with the melody of "Happy Birthday"; each sequence will be held for 2 minutes with 1 minute interval between them.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Staw phonation

Intervention Type OTHER

Practice the exercise straw phonation before choir practice once a week for a period of 14 weeks.

Group 3

10 individuals of Coral UFCSPA without voice problems. Untreated group.
