Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Acoustic measures of voice.	1 year	Acoustic measures of voice (i.e., fundamental frequency, total phonation time, and SPL. Participants will be tested three separate times distributed in equal periods throughout one academic semester (i.e., 16 weeks).

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Identify changes in aerodynamic measures of voice.	1 year	Identify changes in aerodynamic measures of voice (airflow). Participants will be tested three separate times distributed in equal periods throughout one academic semester (i.e., 16 weeks).
