Abstract
Great vocal well-being is a key worry to proficient voice clients such ad instructors and artists. Consequently, to improve the utilization of voice and appropriate recovery to reestablish vocal well-being is the need of the day. A framework has been created to give a way to quantitative vocal stacking appraisal for the avoidance of voice issues. The advancements in signal processing have helped us to achieve this goal. Time dose, cycle dose, energy dose, and distance dose are the vital voice dosage measures citied in writing. The initial two measurements are ascertained in the study. The parameters which determine these measurements are voicing time, fundamental frequency of speech, and intensity of speech. Silence/unvoiced/voiced classification of speech signal has been done. The fundamental frequency has been extracted by cepstrum analysis. Voice doses are calculated using the above parameters, and tests are done on male and female audio samples. In this study, MATLAB platform is used for speech signal recording as well as analysis.
