| Description | The present paper follows the preceding stage of research directed to the changes in the voice quality related to the professional load. In the first stage of the project the research concerned 47 respondents, all of them students of combined (extramural) university studies who were simultaneously active in the teaching process. After a year the voices of these teachers were recorded again and analysed with the use of the standard DSI (Dysphonia Severity Index) method. At the same time other teachers voices were recorded and will be recorded again after a year; the comparison of these recordings should increase the objectivity of the obtained results. Registered were also the new people s answers given in the questionnaire concerning the subjective perception of the speaking and the singing voice, the knowledge on voice hygiene, the sources of this knowledge, and the subjective evaluation of the voice load in extra-curricular activities. |
