For all my #voice #slpeeps
I received a request to do a tutorial on #Cepstral Peak Prominence. #CPP is one of the most robust #acoustic measures of #voice quality and is super easy to measure with #Praat. See below for step-by-step instructions and a quick video tutorial!


First, using #Praat, select the audio sample of interest, such as sustained /a/, the #CAPE-V “we were away a year ago”, or the #RainbowPassage

Lastly, select the new file that begins with “PowerCeptrogram”, then select “Query – ” > “Get CPPS…”, and “OK”. The #CPP will get generated in about a minute or less.
And just like that, you have powerful new objective #acoustic measure to add to your #voice and/or #motor #speech evaluation. It is also an invaluable quantitative treatment outcome! See the below article for some great normative data! https://pubs.asha.org/doi/full/10.1044/2020_AJSLP-20-00001
