Learning how to analyse your voice takes about two minutes. This guide covers the ideal recording setup and how to read every number in your voice score.
Step 1: Record in a quiet room
Background noise corrupts acoustic measurements. Choose a quiet space, keep your microphone 15–30 cm from your mouth, and speak at a normal, conversational volume.
Step 2: Read a standard passage
For repeatable results, read a standardised passage such as the "Rainbow Passage". Aim for 20–40 seconds of continuous speech at a natural pace (130–150 words per minute).
When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act as a prism and form a rainbow. The rainbow is a division of white light into many beautiful colors…
Step 3: Run the voice analysis
Upload the file or record directly in My Voice Score. The voice scoring tool extracts your acoustic features and returns your scores instantly.
Step 4: Interpret your voice score
| Metric | What it means | Healthy range |
|---|---|---|
| Voice Health | Overall vocal wellness | 75–100 |
| Vocal Fatigue | Freshness vs. tiredness | 75+ (Healthy/Fresh) |
| Voice Risk | Overload risk level | Low |
| Clarity | Intelligibility | 75+ |
Step 5: Track over time
A single reading is a snapshot. Test at the same time of day across several days to see trends in your voice health check results — especially useful if you have heavy speaking days.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Recording single words or clips under 5 seconds
- Whispering or shouting
- Noisy environments or music in the background
- Reading in a flat monotone (lowers expressiveness)
