Electroglottographic voice maps of untrained vocally healthy adults with gender differences and gradients

• Baseline data from adult speakers are presented for time-domain parameters of EGG waveforms. 26 vocally healthy adults (13 males and 13 females) were recruited for the study. Four dependent variables were computed: mean contact quotient, mean peak-rate-of change in the contact area, index of contacting, and the audio crest factor. Small regions around the speech range distribution modes on the fo/SPL plane were used to define means and gradients. Males and females differed considerably in the audio crest factor of their speaking voice, and somewhat in their EGG contact quotient when measured at the mode point of the individual speech range profile. In males, contacting tended to increase somewhat with fo and SPL around the mode point, while in females it tended to decrease.
