Abstract
Singers are among a category of professionals, along with many other professionals, who rely on their voice for work [1]. Phonotrauma can be caused by many factors, among which the amount and intensity of vocal use are at the forefront [2]. Dosimetry metrics can assist voice professionals aim for safe amounts of voice use, but a threshold of voice use has not yet been established and recommended by researchers [3]. Understanding what dosimetry research can offer is one important step towards that goal. Furthermore, once dosimetry devices become mainstream, singers can apply the understanding of dosimetry measurements to pace vocal use and minimize vocal fatigue, vocal effort, and consequently preventing vocal injury.
