Scientifically Assisted Evolution of the Professional Voice in Elderly People

This manual provides a unique database of objectively obtained results by phonetography, documenting the evolution of the professional voice in adult singers and actors.A selection of 76 Figures and 18 Tables, deduced from a recently enlarged database of more than 1.000 phonetograms (Voice Range Profiles) from professional voice users (singers, actors and dancers) of both genders, of ages between 47 and 107 years offers the possibility to objectively evaluate the capacities of a given voice and provides practical cues for voice education and voice therapy, with emphasis on the generally estimated period of vocal decline.
