| Abstract | The main purpose of this study was to further investigate the use of phonetographic data for increasing our understanding of the voice mechanism. This investigation included a comparison of groups of young adults with and without vocal training on measures of vocal frequency range, maximum, minimum, and comfortable vocal intensities and intensity ranges, and vocal areas. |
