Singers are vocal athletes having specific demands from their voice and require special consideration during voice evaluation. Presently, there is a lack of standards for acoustic evaluation in them. The aim of the present study was to systematically review the available literature on the acoustic analysis of voice in singers.
A systematic review of studies on acoustic analysis of voice in singers (PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, ProQuest, Cochrane, Ovid, Science Direct, and Shodhganga) was carried out. Key words based on PIO (population-investigation-outcome) were used to develop search strings. Titles and abstracts were screened independently, and appropriate studies were read in full for data extraction.
Of the 895 studies, 26 studies met the inclusion criteria. Great variability was noted in the instruments and task used. Different acoustic measures were employed, such as fundamental frequency, perturbation, cepstral, spectral, dysphonia severity index, singing power ratio, and so forth.
Overall, a great heterogeneity was noted regarding population, tasks, instruments, and parameters. There is a lack of standardized criteria for the evaluation of singing voice. In order to implement acoustic analysis as a part of comprehensive voice evaluation exclusively for singers, there is a certain need for methodical sound studies.
歌手是对嗓音有特定要求的声乐运动员，在嗓音评估过程中需要特别考虑。目前，针对他们的声学评估缺乏标准。本研究的目的是系统回顾关于歌手嗓音声学分析的现有文献。
对歌手嗓音声学分析的研究（PubMed/MEDLINE、CINAHL、Scopus、ProQuest、Cochrane、Ovid、Science Direct和Shodhganga）进行了系统回顾。基于PIO（人群-调查-结果）使用关键词来制定检索式。独立筛选标题和摘要，并对合适的研究全文阅读以提取数据。
在895项研究中，26项研究符合纳入标准。在使用的仪器和任务方面存在很大差异。采用了不同的声学测量方法，如基频、微扰、谐波倒谱、频谱、发音障碍严重程度指数、歌唱功率比等。
总体而言，在人群、任务、仪器和参数方面存在很大的异质性。缺乏评估歌唱嗓音的标准化标准。为了将声学分析作为专门针对歌手的综合嗓音评估的一部分来实施，有必要进行系统完善的研究。
