Analysis of Jitter and Shimmer
Material
Material
Use 1 recording of 3 /a:/ made by a patient with Huntington's disease, find the file here.
Record 3 similar extended /a:/ of your own voice to compare results to.
Read first about simulation of jitter and shimmer and then study Praat's tutorial on Voice (i.e. including the links in the tutorial).
A good idea is to first read the instructions (for the whole practical).
