My voice professor is a baby-eating nazi

Posted On: 01/30/2008 11:07:28

Just is! And she's even wrong on stuff! Listen up Dr. Z:

Frequency Range of Phonation norms for young, healthy adults IS 2.5-3 OCTAVES!! Look it up in Deem and Miller!
Pitch Range IS reportable in terms of musical tones. In fact, I can't find a damn reference anywhere to FRP reported as hertz.
Perturbation DOES measure aperiodicity of vocal fold vibration. That's it's DEFINITION. Presence of vocal nodules interfere w/ the action of the mucosal wave causing greater variation in frequency and amplitude and therefore perturbation and yes I KNOW that the perceptual correlate wrt voice quality is roughness.

I failed my comps because SHE is wrong, not because I'm wrong. This pisses me off. I haven't yet decided how to best approach this.

What an unpleasant woman to have to deal with. As soon as I get signed off on my Master's degree, I'm toilet papering her house.
