professionnels de la voix
French to English
Social Sciences
Psychology
métapsychologie de la phonation
This is a summary of an article on psychoanalysis. Here the authors, in order to study the psychological aspects of voice, and in particular voice loss (due to laryngectomy for example), propose a study which takes into account both "biological/scientific" data (phonation, linguistics and "témoignages de *** professionnels de la voix***" etc ) and present trends in metapsychology and intrapsychic experience.
I understand that 'professionnels de la voix" are orthophonists, for example, but, given the other summaries I have before me, would also be music teachers, singers, teachers in general.... people whose voice would be an essential part of their profession.
Any ideas for a nice comprehensive term? Many thanks in advance!

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:
Non-PRO (1): Julie Barber
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Selected
voice-oriented professionals
might work as it does exist
Dysphonia has an occupational view nowadays. A shift in the voice-oriented professional's clinical approach has been required. New voice-oriented job categories have emerged and, as a result, the voice disorder in the professional enviroment has increased. The economic and productivity harm due to voice disorders are a preocupation. Dysphonia has multiple causes and its evaluation, ethiological conclusion and occupational reports aren't defined yet. AIM: In order to obtain a more accurate and comprehensive evaluation, a multidisciplinary protocol was elaborated to ensure proper medical scientific support. It consists of anamnesis, physical exam, laryngeal endoscopy, perceptive voice analysis and Voice Handicap Index application (VHI). STUDY DESIGN: Transversal historic cohort. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: In this preliminary study, the protocol was applied on 15 voice professionals with dysphonia. RESULTS: 13,3% with normal voice performance; 33,3% with functional dysphonia; 46% with organic dysphonia. Dysphonia was related to the voice-oriented job in 40% cases and it was ruled out in 46,6%. CONCLUSION: We concluded that the protocol is complete enough to help otolaryngologists evaluate this workers' category.

Not sure if I was very clear last night ... snowed under at the moment
what I meant to say was that it seemed that voice-oriented professionals appear to be those who work with and help people who use their voice in a more direct manner and those in voice-related professions or those working in voice-related fields could work as an alternative

... and I've just reread your question.! In fact you wanted the term for the singers etc.!! So yes, voice professionals in this case and voice-related/oriented professionals for the clinicians ... I misunderstood as you posted it under Medical so I thought you were looking for the cover-all term for those who work with voice professionals too ... hence my waffle above. Sorry! I really shouldn't answer questions when I'm focusing on something else! :-))

Note from asker:
| Hi suezen! I see that your link also mentions 'voice professionals' - do you think then that 'voice professionals' is limited only to those who work with their voice? I have noted Dylan's remark which is promising! |
| No suezen, your first impression was right - I need this cover-all term, both singers, actors etc PLUS the clinicians.. I'm leaning very heavily towards voice-related... will leave question open a little longer |

Dylan Edwards
: I think this is the best option in the circumstances. It sounds better than "voice-related professionals", though you could perhaps say "those in voice-related professions".

Comment: "Thanks very much suezen for all you references - I think I'll go with 'those in voice-related professions". Not as pretty as voice professionals but this latter does only seem to cover those who use their voice, not therapists/doctors etc."

sorry I did not put the answer in the right place.
Drmanu49: 12:42pm Dec 16, 2007 : I guess the most specific term for your needs would have to be as unspecific as "voice expert" which includes all the categories whether professional (specialist) or not (teacher).

| Thanks drmanu for this input. My problem is precisely in finding a solution which will include both those who help with voice production, as it were, and those who use their voice for professional reasons. |

Melissa McMahon
: not "phonologists" - this is a different sort of thing (phonology=branch of linguistics), as indicated in the passage which separates "phonation, linguistics" from the "témoignages de professionnels de la voix"

Well, it is indirectly related since they study language sound patterns and that a language is spoken.
