ABSTRACT of the Work. The Bernoulli Effect provides an explanation of how the vocal foldsactually vibrate. It is a common misconception that the vocal folds vibrate only throughrepetitive muscular contraction. This lecture will give the outcomes of a specific rehabilitation based on a new concept programed for a group, the professional voice users. Dependent variables included maximum expiratory pressure (MEP), Voice Handicap Index (VHI) score, Vocal Rating Scale(VRS) score, Voice Effort Scale score, phonetogram measures, sub glottal pressures, andacoustic and perceptual measures.Results showed significant improvements in MEP,VHI scores, and VRS scores, sub glottal pressure for loud intensity, phonetogram area,and dynamic range. It was concluded that the usage and practice of aerodynamic way ofspeaking method is responsible for a persisting good voice for professional voice users. Among the results, mean background noise level for the ten DCCs was76.1 dBA (range 73.0–78.2), which is more than 20 dB higher than what isrecommended where speech communication is important(50–55 dBA). The subjects spoke on anaverage of 9.1 dB louder (p < 0.0001), and with higher mean fundamental frequency (247 Hz)during work as compared to the baseline (202 Hz) (p < 0.0001). Mean phonation time for thegroup was 17%, which was considered high. It was concluded that professional voice users do have a highly vocally demanding profession.Important steps to reduce the vocal loading for this occupation by altering the way of talking. The lecturer will discuss the various processes, such as viscosity and relaxation processes,that cause less effort on the vocal cord. This is so is an intriguing puzzle, and the lecturerwill offer an new life for professional voice users for maintain a clear and good voice and throat.
