How and when is an auditory-perceptual voice evaluation completed? Auditory-perceptual voice evaluation is used to assess vocal quality and ease of production through listening. It is imperative to have a standardized method for auditory-perceptual voice ratings for use during a comprehensive voice evaluation and to measure progress throughout the therapeutic process. This course will present methods for completion of auditory-perceptual voice evaluation and guidelines for use. The methods and guidelines will be presented through didactic lecture, demonstrations, and interactive auditory-perceptual ratings. At the end of the course the learner will understand the value and have the ability to complete auditory-perceptual voice evaluation as part of a comprehensive voice evaluation and to monitor progress in therapy.

1. Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation History and Development

This chapter will define audio-perceptual evaluation, describe the purpose, cover pertinent history and clinical considerations, and present the development of a standardized tool. This information is important to understand how perceptual evaluation has evolved and why/how the parameters and rating systems are used.

2. Audio - Perceptual Evaluation Parameters and Considerations

This chapter will cover the definition of parameters used when completing audio-perceptual evaluation using the CAPE-V. Additional characteristics will be discussed and ratings addressed. Audio examples will be provided for each of the primary parameters. Considerations for developing listening skills and calibrating within groups of listeners will be discussed.

3. Completing Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation

This chapter will focus on the actual completion of auditory-perceptual evaluation using the CAPE-V. Approximately 5-7 voice samples will be presented, the attendee will rate the voice sample using the provided form, and the presenter to provide a personal rating and discuss.
