  Vocal loading
Vocal loading is the stress inflicted on the speech organs when speaking for long periods.
Several studies in vocal loading show that the speaking environment does have a significant impact on vocal loading.
Objective evaluation or measurement of vocal loading is very difficult due to the tight coupling of the experienced psychological and physiological stress.

 Voice
The sound made by a person using the vocal folds for talking and singing (singers use the voice as an instrument for creating music).
In phonetics and phonology, a phone or phoneme is said to be voiced if it is produced with the vocal folds vibrating.
Segments that are produced without the vocal folds vibrating (such as Englisn t, s, and f) are called unvoiced or voiceless.

 The Voice Source in Singing
The relationship between the shape of vocal folds and the resistance to air flow is still not well understood; however, a better understanding of this relationship may show that for some modes of vocal fold vibration, the admittance function may be quite unsymmetrical even when title PGA waveform is symmetrical.
The subglottal and supraglottal inertive loading of the glottis is shown diagrammatically in the sketch in Fig.
When the closing vocal folds finally do cause a cessation of flow, the inertia forces are suddenly terminated, and the supraglottal and subglottal pressures move rapidly toward their average values, in the oscillatory pattern caused by the respective resonances.

 Voice - Susan's Place Transgender Wiki
Humans have vocal cords which can loosen or tighten or change their thickness and over which breath can be transferred at varying pressures.
The vocal cords of a person speaking for an extended period of time will suffer from tiring, that is, the process of speaking exerts a load on the vocal cords where the tissue will suffer from tiring.
Movements in the vocal cords are rapid, fundamental frequencies are usually between 80 and 300 Hz, thus preventing usage of ordinary video.

 Source-Tract Acoustic Interaction in Breathy Voice
When the voice is made "breathy" by medial abduction of the vocal folds (and not by abduction of just the posterior interarytenoidal segment, as sometimes occurs (Rothenberg 1973), the projected glottal area can be expected to have the form shown in the lower solid trace in Figure 37-1.
The fact that not all of the vocal folds are in contact can be verified from the offset from zero area of the measured PGA waveform, or the offset from zero flow of the glottal air flow waveform.
Another effect to be expected during a voiced-unvoiced transition is a small decrease in the mice fundamental frequency (or increase in fundamental frequency during an unvoiced-voiced transition) as the phase shift at the fundamental frequency varies, since the frequency is the time derivative of the phase.

 Phoniatrics
In general terms the speech organs means the mouth, throat (larynx), the vocal cords and lungs.
Problems treated in phoniatrics include dysfunction of the vocal cords, cancer in the vocal cords or larynx, incapability to control the speech organs properly (speech disorders), and vocal loading related problems.
Some doctors claim that disorders such as stuttering are entirely psychologycal problems, but that view has recently been mostly discarded.

Most symptoms were at their minimum during the first loading session and increased statistically significantly to a peak mean value after three or five vocal loading sessions.

 Human voice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The vocal folds, in combination with the lips, the tongue, the lower jaw, and the palate, are capable of producing highly intricate arrays of sound.
When the air pressure in the trachea rises as a result of this closure, the folds are blown apart, while the vocal processes of the arytenoid cartilages remain in apposition.
Talking for long periods of time causes vocal loading which is stress inflicted on the speech organs.

 Technology - VA4
This approach is based on maximizing realistic reproduction of the critical mid-frequency range of 250 Hz to 3 kHz which spans the human vocal range.
Dedicating a subsystem specifically to the midrange frequencies solves many of the problems that occur with two-way designs where crossover is directly placed in the vocal region.
Dividing the vocal range between creates power response gaps (holes in off-axis frequency response) as well as excessive distortion in just the frequency range where the ear is most sensitive to acoustical anomalies of any kind.

 Speech disorder - Psychology Wiki - A Wikia wiki
This can mean stuttering, lisps, vocal dysphonia etc. Someone who is totally unable to speak due to a speech disorder is considered mute.
Dysphonia, that is, incomplete functionality of the vocal folds, is one of the most common and can be observed as, for example, an unusual roughness of the voice.
Many of these types of disorders can be treated by speech therapy, but others require medical attention by a doctor in phoniatrics.
