This involves describing the voice solely by listening to it, i.e. using auditory perception. Speech therapists who specialize in working with people with voice disorders have received training in describing the relevant characteristics of a disordered voice. Perceptual evaluation can be either informal or formal. Informal perceptual evaluation takes place throughout the whole meeting between a therapist and a client. It is usual for the therapist to engage the client in spontaneous conversation and to conduct a case history designed to gather information about the commencement and history of the voice difficulty, relevant medical information, the domestic situation, client lifestyle and any traumas that may affect the voice. Whilst it may appear to the client that the therapist is merely ‘chatting’ on occasion, in reality, the therapist is evaluating the voice on a principled basis.
