Sažetak
In this investigation the effect of vocal rehearsal on fundamental frequency (fo, jitter and shimmer) was examined in a group of seven female dancers and singers, members of Folk Dance Ensemble of Croatia known for its' 50 vear old tradition focused on Croatian folk songs and dances. The mean age of subjects was 34, and mean length of professional career 13,5 years. Although the acoustic effect of vocal rehearsal on voice is positive in this investigation, the results should be taken with caution. In extreme cases it could be suspected that long lasting and very demanded vocal rehearsals may result in opposite direction showing the signs of vocal fatigue. Together with the results of the present investigation, future studies on vocal rehearsal effect may highlight the optimum vocal rehearsal time. It must not be forgotten that human voice is extremely sensitive instrument.
