VIP: Voice Impact Profile
The VIP is a user-friendly, point-in-time assessment tool which provides an 'at a glance' vocal profile for the clinician, voice coach and client. It examines the potential impact of a number of specific factors on the voice: general health; vocal history; vocal health; voice care; vocal status; voice genogram; anxiety and stress; social functioning; vocal demand; and environmental factors, and offers an overview of the theory to support this choice.
- The questions have been carefully designed to elicit easily-recorded information from the client about a range of factors that are known to affect vocal quality.
- The tick-box answers then translate into the Vocal Impact Profile, a visual presentation of the areas of greatest impact on voice.
- Self-administered by the client, the questionnaire should take approximately ten to fifteen minutes to complete.
- The clinician or voice coach enters the responses into the computer programme (supplied on CD-ROM) or transfers them manually on to the hard copy thus offering a clear visual representation of the results.
VIP can be used as a template for achieving change in a specific area of vulnerability and provide a robust visual reinforcement of that change over time. It is, therefore, helpful as a therapy-monitoring tool and as an evaluation of client awareness, behavioural change and clinical effectiveness.
