Diagnozowanie problemów emisji głosu

Abstract

The article presents a device for diagnosing problems with voice emission (a diagnosis sheet). The sheet is a modification of currently existing diagnosing devices, and it was supplemented with authorial propositions. The device is helpful in diagnosing problems and determining dysfunctions connected to body posture while speaking, the way of breathing, articulation and voice rendering of a text. The article comprises practical tips on how to work with the sheet. The diagnosis sheet can be utilized in work with both adult and child patients, and it can be used by speech therapists as well as voice emission coaches but also by teachers of Polish and those giving extracurriculum classes (e.g. theatrical or recitation school clubs), to determine the patients voice quality.
