달걀, 사과 및 배 섭취가 음성의 음향학적 파라미터에 미치는 효과
Abstract
This study was performed to find out changes in acoustic measurements of voice after eating egg, apple and pear. Ten college students vocalized /a/ before and after eating egg, apple and pear. Dr. Speech was utilized to obtain changes of subjects's acoustic measurements. A t-test was peformed to determine acoustic changes of voice before and after eating egg, apple and pear. No significant difference was observed in acoustic measurements before and after eating egg, apple and pear. However, the subjects seemed to show some improvements in Jitter, HNR, and NNE in the order of egg, apple, and pear even though they did not reach a statistical significance. It was concluded that a more systematic research paradigm is needed in order to objectively reject or substantiate a variety of conceptions on food items and their effects on voice.
