The objective of this study was to estimate the agreement and reliability of voice evaluation by a group of expert listeners using the central portion of a sustained vowel and a fragment of connected speech as voice samples. Ratings were made using Wilson's Buffalo III Voice Screening Profile. Analysis showed that intraindividual listeners' agreement presented variability in the evaluation of both voice samples. In the evaluation of the central portion of the sustained vowel, interindividual listener agreement was moderate for breathiness, hyponasal resonance, and overall voice rating; in connected speech, agreement was moderate for most voice qualities (breathy, rough, high/low pitch, and hyponasal resonance). Finally, Wilson's Buffalo III Voice Screening Profile presented good reliability values for both voice samples, with overall voice rating achieving higher values (.90) than any other voice-quality variable.
本研究的目的是评估一组专家听众使用持续元音的中间部分和一段连贯语音作为嗓音样本进行嗓音评估的一致性和可靠性。使用威尔逊的布法罗III嗓音筛查量表进行评分。分析表明，个体内听众在对两种嗓音样本的评估中存在一致性差异。在对持续元音中间部分的评估中，个体间听众在呼吸音、鼻音不足共鸣和整体嗓音评分方面的一致性为中等；在连贯语音中，大多数嗓音特质（呼吸音、粗糙音、高低音和鼻音不足共鸣）的一致性为中等。最后，威尔逊的布法罗III嗓音筛查量表对两种嗓音样本均呈现出良好的可靠性值，整体嗓音评分的可靠性值（.90）高于任何其他嗓音特质变量。
