In order to develop a laryngographic (Lx) waveform measurement algorithm for phonation types which is independent of frequency variation, Lx and acoustic signals of a sustained vowel at seven pitch increments for a set of standard models of laryngeal voice qualities are captured and analyzed in the Computerized Speech Lab (CSL) environment. Auditory assessments are used to categorize the data; a procedure is applied to eliminate DC float in the Lx signal and flatten the baseline; a pitch-extraction algorithm is introduced to compute pitch and jitter; speed-quotient and open-quotient techniques are applied to derive Lx-period ratio comparisons; and a cepstral procedure is used to establish periodicity indices for the pitch-differentiated waveform samples. The research objective is to reliably identify and distinguish degrees of breathy voice, whispery voice, harsh voice or ventricular voice, where the creaky voice/ modal voice/ falsetto frequency dimension is viewed as a confounding factor in the recognition of phonation types in the breathiness/ harshness dimension. The practical objective is to develop speech and language technology with potential clinical applications in the analysis of pathological phonatory qualities.
