CELEBRITY VOICE ANALYSIS PROJECT

Overall Description: choose a “famous person” with or without a voice disorder and will individually complete a 1 to 2 page paper, which includes details about the famous person’s voice and voice fingerprint. The goal of this project is to apply information learned in class about the voice and voice disorders to a more general context of the media.

Please address the following in your paper:

Brief description about your famous person’s voice. Indicate if the person has a typical voice or voice disorder (may be documented/official or your impressions). What is acceptable or unacceptable about his/her voice? How does he/she use their voice? What is his/her profession? Has the person received voice therapy or had surgery that may affect their voice?

Inclusion of Voice Fingerprint Information with specific examples. A person’s voice fingerprint is a distinctive set or combination of behaviors that identify one voice from another.
