Finding Pitch Range in Context

The client should speak into the microphone in a normal, conversational tone for at least 10 seconds. Speech Visualization will analyze the client’s speech to determine the pitch range they use in conversation. When the client has finished speaking, click Next.

Speech Visualization will show a Phonetogram, which graphs the client’s pitch vs. their loudness. The Phonetogram is not a waveform, which shows volume over time—it is a picture of the amplitude and pitch over the entire sample. The Phonetogram has no time component.

If you want to save the Phonetogram to review later, click the Save Graph button at the bottom of the window. This “picture” of your range can be viewed in Client Manager.

You must complete Dx2: Finding Singing Pitch Range before you can do Dx3: Finding Pitch Range in Context.

If automatic saving is not enabled, the speech sample can be saved by clicking on the Save Recording... button. All of the samples for this exercise are saved in the same folder and given a name that starts with the word, followed by the date, and time. You can play the sample by clicking on the Load Recording... button and selecting it from the list.

Click Next when you are ready to continue.
