Acoustic Evaluation of Female Cheerleaders Pre/Post- Vocal Hygiene Training

Sunday, 7:15am to 8:15am

There are several examples of studies found within the current literature using vocal hygiene training programs for female cheerleaders to help lessen vocal abuse that cheerleaders often apply to their vocal cords. The major problem with these studies is that there is no data presented acoustically of the voice for those who have undergone the training programs nor have pre/post voice quality ratings by panels of judges been reported. The objectives of this presentation are to present select findings of this study.
