Objectives: This study described voice use and lifestyle information about student singers with a focus on describing differences in self-reported information at study intake compared to data from 21 consecutive days of a voice Log.
Methods: Twenty-seven student singers estimated voice and lifestyle behaviors at study initiation including daily speaking time, singing/performance time, vocal warm-up, and cool-down minutes; fluid intake; perceived effort when talking, and when singing, among other items. These same parameters were tracked for 21 consecutive days in a voice log kept by the singer at home.
