The Effects of Reading Speed on Acoustic Voice Parameters and Self-reported Vocal Fatigue in Students
2024, Journal of VoiceCitation Excerpt :This emerging evidence regarding a gender difference in phonation time verifies the long-held belief that women tend to speak more than men,50 and the assumption that increased voice use can lead to a higher incidence of vocal fatigue and subsequent voice disorders.51 In addition to the emerging evidence related to phonation time, the literature has established that English speaking women tend to talk slightly slower than men.52–54 Moreover, regardless of gender, it is expected that an increased speaking rate will contribute to increased phonation time, and a decrease in the duration of vocal rest.

A shorter and more preliminary version of this work was presented as a talk(Byrd, 1992a). A preliminary report on a subset of the topics presented here uses the earlier release of the training portion (two-thirds) of the TIMIT database and appears in (Byrd, 1992b).
