The Role Of Voice In Communication

1073 Words5 Pages

INTRODUCTION The voice plays an essential role in communication and human relationships and serves as a modality of transmission of articulated messages and conveying thoughts. In today’s day and age, there are a number of professions that require individuals to use their voice continuously, such as singers, teachers, actors, pastors and many more. (Neto, 2009). As the service sector continues to grow, more and more personnel depend on their voices for their livelihood. Such professionals therefore are relatively at a higher risk of experiencing a voice problem. (Usha devadas, 2013). Voice problems in professionals who use their voice as an instrument for work, may directly affect the quality of the individual’s voice, interfering in social, emotional and physical aspects related to daily living. (Pizolato, 2013). Symptoms such as hoarseness, voice breaks, vocal fatigue, voice change consequent to poor diet habits are frequent manifestations in health seen in these individuals and these problems may interfere in the performance of their work and social relationship causing frustration and low self- esteem. (Pizolato, 2013). Thus, professional voice users span a broad range of vocal sophistication and their livelihood relies heavily on producing exceptional vocal quality and sustaining vocal endurance (Sataloff, 1998). Koufmann and Isaacson in 1991, evolved a classification of vocal professionals based on their voice use and risk. The Elite Vocal Performers (Level1)

In other words, more than 95 percent of the devices are successful in the long run. This information makes the lack of a main character with a successful implant all the more confusing. Nović has, in failing to include a character like this, created a one-sided depiction of the Deaf community without much of the nuance surrounding this complicated issue. The undue focus on implant failure, the most glaring example of which is when Charlie’s implant fails on stage, causing her to feel like “her mouth was cottony thick, jaw tight” and like "her body was a hummingbirds thrum” (320).

    1530 Words  | 7 Pages

    The average school-based speech-language pathologist (SLP) is likely to maintain a caseload that consists of a significant number of children with phonological disorders (Gierut, 2001). According to the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (1999), 10-15% of preschoolers have a speech disorder. Given the lifelong importance of phonologic learning and intelligibility in daily functioning, there is a need to utilize effective intervention strategies for targeting these skills. Goal-attack strategies, as stated by Fey (1986), arrange treatment in a way that works to eliminate a child’s phonological errors and restructure the phonological system.

    The two key topics in class in the last weeks, for me. Two of the most relevant topics developed in the last weeks were: non-verbal communication and the barriers to communication. Everytime we communicate with another person or group of people, we have to take into account some factors other than what we are actually saying that can affect how the message is going to be received: body language, tone, intonation, facial expressions, and others; this is what we understand for non-verbal communication. As we saw in class “55% of communication is body language, 38% is the tone of voice, and 7% is the actual words spoken.”
