There is a wealth of information that can be gathered through an acoustic profile. The Visi-Pitch is a very useful tool for speech language pathologists (SLPs), as it can provide them with information regarding clients’ habitual pitch, vowel quality, and phonation abilities. A huge advantage of this software is that SLPs can use it with a variety of clients, those including voice, articulation, fluency, and accent modification. The information gathered from the Visi-Pitch can be useful in assessment, developing treatment goals, and tracking client progress. As for myself, I would be very interested in using this instrumentation with future clients. If I want to use the Visi-Pitch, I should first become more comfortable with all of its components.
Apart from an assignment I completed in an undergraduate course, I do not have a lot of experience in using the Visi-Pitch. The directions provided by the instructor very helpful, as I would have been lost without them. However, even with the instructions, the process of obtaining the acoustic profile took a lot longer than anticipated. This was due to my own meticulousness in making sure I was doing everything …show more content…

Some need more specific directions, while others, potentially with more experience in voice analysis, wouldn’t need as much instruction. Even though I am more comfortable with this type of analysis, I think more practice would be beneficial for me to gain more practice so I can use this with future
