The purpose of this study was to assess the voice quality and the vocal tract function in popular singing students at the beginning of their singing training at the High School of Music.
This is a retrospective cross-sectional study.
The study consisted of 45 popular singing students (35 females and 10 males, mean age: 19.9 ± 2.8 years). They were assessed in the first 2 months of their 4-year singing training at the High School of Music, between 2013 and 2016. Voice quality and vocal tract function were evaluated using videolaryngostroboscopy, palpation of the vocal tract structures, the perceptual speaking and singing voice assessment, acoustic analysis, maximal phonation time, the Voice Handicap Index, and the Singing Voice Handicap Index (SVHI).
Twenty-two percent of Contemporary Commercial Music singing students began their education in the High School, with vocal nodules. Palpation of the vocal tract structure showed in 50% correct motions and tension in speaking and in 39.3% in singing. Perceptual voice assessment showed in 80% proper speaking voice quality and in 82.4% proper singing voice quality. The mean vocal fundamental frequency while speaking in females was 214 Hz and in males was 116 Hz. Dysphonia Severity Index was at the level of 2, and maximum phonation time was 17.7 seconds. The Voice Handicap Index and the SVHI remained within the normal range: 7.5 and 19, respectively. Perceptual singing voice assessment correlated with the SVHI (P = 0.006).

本研究旨在评估音乐高中流行演唱专业学生在声乐训练初期的嗓音质量和声道功能。
这是一项回顾性横断面研究。
该研究纳入了45名流行演唱专业学生（35名女性，10名男性，平均年龄：19.9±2.8岁）。他们于2013年至2016年在音乐高中进行为期4年的声乐训练的前2个月接受评估。使用视频喉镜频闪检查、声道结构触诊、感知性言语和歌唱嗓音评估、声学分析、最大发声时间、嗓音障碍指数和歌唱嗓音障碍指数（SVHI）对嗓音质量和声道功能进行评估。
22%的当代商业音乐演唱专业学生进入高中学习时就患有声带小结。声道结构触诊显示，50%的学生在说话时有正确的动作和张力，39.3%的学生在唱歌时有正确的动作和张力。感知性嗓音评估显示，80%的学生言语嗓音质量正常，82.4%的学生歌唱嗓音质量正常。女性说话时的平均嗓音基频为214Hz，男性为116Hz。发声障碍严重程度指数为2级，最大发声时间为17.7秒。嗓音障碍指数和SVHI均保持在正常范围内，分别为7.5和19。感知性歌唱嗓音评估与SVHI相关（P = 0.006）。
