“…They found that neither the baseline model nor the proposed model significantly degraded. Kang et al (2018) [20] studied the association between voice hygiene habits and the Korean (K-VRQOL) Voice-Related Quality of Life among classical singers. For this research, they chose 128 male 35 (27.3%) and female 93 (72.7%)) singers in South Korea who completed a questionnaire on their hygienic voice habits and the K-VRQOL scale, which evaluates the effect of voice problems on an individual's life quality.…”

Alcohol consumption can lead to vocal health risks and long-term health issues for individuals. The paper introduces a novel dataset that analyzes vowel vocalizations to detect early alcohol consumption. This study examines hidden parameters in vowel sounds, such as frequency, jitters, shimmer, and harmonic ratio, which can identify individuals who consume alcohol. It aims to identify subtle vocal patterns that serve as markers for alcohol consumption. This study analyzed 509 vowel vocalizations from 290 records of 46 alcohol-consuming individuals and 219 non-drinkers aged 22-34. The study used intelligent machine learning models and Incremental Hidden Layer Neurons Artificial Neural Networks (IHLN-ANNs) with Back-propagation to identify patterns indicative of alcohol consumption. The Random Forest (RF) model achieved 95.3% accuracy, while the BP-ANNs model showed 99.4% accuracy with five neurons in a hidden layer. The findings could be applied to developing smartphone applications to provide timely alerts and cautionary measures for alcohol consumption, reducing accident risks. The study highlights voice analysis's potential as a non-invasive and cost-effective tool for identifying alcohol consumers, offering potential avenues for future public health initiatives.

The purpose of this study is to compare voice characteristics and voice-related quality of life (K-VRQOL) of the elderly female choir members using perceptual-auditory voice quality evaluation (GRBAS) and K-VRQOL scales. The participants were 77 women over 60 years old who were actively engaged in the choir in either Seoul or Busan. There are two kinds of choirs that indicate different engagement levels: regular choir and church choir. The perceptual-auditory vocal quality evaluation was listened to by / a / vowels and were graded by experts using the GRBAS scale. As a result, when comparing the differences between groups, the elderly female participants of the regular choir showed higher satisfaction in speech using the subjective speech recognition level than the elderly female members who performed in the church choir. In addition, the analysis showed that the satisfaction level was high in the physical function area of the K-VRQOL scale. This study confirmed that choral activities could yield positive results not only in terms of improving voice function in old age, but also to improve the subjective perception level of voice use, thus suggesting the necessity of systematic music programs to improve voices that are aging.

Objectives: Although singers are elite voice users who strive to keep their voice healthy for their performances, they are at high risk for voice problems. Understanding of professional singers' voice care and their knowledge about voice is the basis for educating about voice care and preventing voice disorders that may interfere with daily activities and performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate voice care related to performance, voice problems, and voice knowledge in singers. Methods: A total of 10 classical singers (5 males and 5 females) who had more than 10 years of experience in playing and actively performing as opera singers and specialized in using their voice for more than five hours a week participated. The interview content was randomly selected and coded, and the rest of the transcripts were coded by two language pathologists. Results: 4 top topics and 10 sub-topics were derived: Voice care & habits before, during, and after a performance as well as in daily life & periods where they had sore throats; and knowledge of voice anatomy & physiology and singing voice. Conclusion: This study suggests that professional singers are always trying to manage their voice. However, they rely on their personal experiences or vocal teachers when they have voice problems. In addition, singers showed insufficient knowledge of voice anatomy & physiology, and little experience with voice therapy. Vocal hygiene and voice health education would be useful to prevent voice problems and maintain their healthy singing & speaking voice.
