Voice range profile (VRP) measurement (Phonetography) was used for the evaluation of the vocal capabilities of 41 female (F) and 50 male (M) members of a nonprofessional choir. By means of an automatic VPR measurement system F0 and SPL dB(A) were determined and displayed real time, two-dimensionally. The speaking Voice (reading a standard passage as well as counting from the softest to the loudest intensity),the shouting voice (3-4 times shouting a standard sentence) and the singing voice (sustained phonation/la:/at minimum and maximum intensity level) were measured. The VRPs of these voice modalities were superimposed on the screen and the plot. The averaged values for the speaking VRP: intensity range (F):48 dB (range 46 soft to 94 dB loud phonation),(M): 52 dB (range 46-98). Pitch range (F):15 semitones (ST) (Cis3, 138-E4, 329 Hz), (M):19 ST (E2, 82 Hz-H3, 246 HE). The average slope for the speaking voice (F):0,31 ST/dB,(M): 0,36 ST/dB. Shouting VRP highest intensity (F): 106,5 dB, (M):108,5 dB, highest pitch (F): between Ais4, 466 and H4,493 Hz. (M): E4, 329 Hz. Average slope for speaking and shouting Voice (F):0,36 ST/dB, (M): 0,39 ST/dB. Singing VRP pitch range (F): 34,6 ST, (M):37 ST, intensity range (F):60 dB, (M): 58 dB. The pitch extension of the speaking VRP ranges from 2,9 to 46,2%, speaking and shouting VRPs together with 2,9 to 65% of the pitch range of the singing VRP (F), (M) 2,7-54% and 2,7-67,5% accordingly. The average values for nonprofessional singers reflect an effective but not special use of the phonatory system for the speaking,shouting and singing voice functions with respect to pitch and intensity.
