Results of Kruskal-Wallis and graphical comparison analysis indicated that the groups differed on several measures including maximum phonation time and peak expiratory airflow. Conclusions and recommendations for future research are discussed.SingersRespirationMusical theaterPhonatory Aerodynamic SystemHonors Thesis
