Rutine analysis

Spead: 
A program for voice analysis made by Laryngograph.

MDVP:
A program for voice analysis made by Kay-elemetrics - Pentax.

High Speed Analysis Wolf Ltd.:
This equipment is purchased from Wolf Ltd. which makes us able to record a sample with sound and video of the throat and the vocal cords. 4000 pictures pr. second with fiber optics and stored films (Stoboscopy with only 25 pictures pr. seconds gives a distorted picture).

Phonetography:
Current analysis method includes Lingwaves software.

Formants:
Description of intensity maxima of the sound in the human throat. Overtone Analyzer by software company Sygyt can be used to visualize formants in voice recordings.

Medical Voice Hygiene Advice.
Advice on proper use of the voice for optimal function both in singing and speaking, including Voice Handicap Index (VHI) and Reflux Symptom Index (RSI).
