Vocal effort is a quantity varied by speakers when adjusting to an increase or decrease in the communication distance. The communication distance is the distance between the speaker and the listener. Vocal effort is a subjective physiological quantity, and is mainly dependent on subglottal pressure, vocal fold tension and jaw opening.[1] Vocal effort is different from sound pressure. To measure vocal effort, listeners are asked to rate the distance between speaker and addressee.
