title: [The role of spectral computer analysis in determination of a singer's voice type and prevention of vocal disease in singers].
abstract: The type of voice usually corresponds to anatomic parameters of the larynx but there are cases when such correspondence is not observed. A singer's voice is characterized by pitch, depth and tembre of the sound, which, acoustically, present variation of three sound parameters: frequency of vibrations, their amplitude and compound sound, its spectrum. A spectral computer analysis of voice has been performed in 68 singers aged 24 to 65 years with singing history of 3 to 43 years. The diagnosis of the voice type was made by the frequency of the basic tone and formant composition of sound at primary, i.e. most convenient for the singer tones, and transitional notes of the range. Tessutura at which maximal number of overtones and the highest formant sound intensity were registered was the best for the singer.
