    Introduction

    The word ‘voice’ refers to the production of sound of a given quality, whereas speech refers to the shaping of sounds into intelligible words. Voice quality is the continuous background to speech production, which involves a complex physiological (functional) and anatomical (structural) system. Voice disorders represent communication dysfunctions; a large population of people estimated between 3 – 10% of the general population are affected by these.
