Primary Outcome Measures:
- Acoustic measures of voice. [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]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 Outcome Measures:
- Identify changes in aerodynamic measures of voice. [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]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).
