Overview
The measurement of the voice range profile (VRP) is a basic acoustic method used for the evaluation of dynamic and frequency ranges of the voice. The study provides an overview of knowledge about measurement and parameterization of VRP and their relationship with voice disorders, voice training, gender and age. In the study there are schematically shown typical phenomena observed on VRPs of voice professionals and beginning students of acting from the previous study (10) of the author. The study is also a theoretical introduction to the follow-up study investigating the manifestations of voice disorders on the VRP measurement in men.
