Pasquale Bottalico
Research Associate
Michigan State University, USA
Pasquale Bottalico joined V-BAL in 2014 through a NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship. He assists Dr. Hunter to quantify gender-specific voice accommodation strategies used in occupational settings and acoustic environments and to identify patterns in acoustic data that reflect the laryngeal and pulmonary functioning of the aging population. Dr. Bottalico is also a professional chorister, performing under such prestigious directors as Rafael Frühbeck De Burgos, Yuri Ahronovitch, Jeffrey Tate, Juanio Mena, Gianandrea Noseda, Ottavio Dantone, Wayne Marshall, Helmuth Rilling, Christopher Hogwood, Robert King and Ivor Bolton.
My research interests lie in the field of acoustics. I am particularly interested in the techniques of the professional talker and singer as well as the definition and the quantification of the vocal load. Other fields I am interested in are Classroom acoustics, Speech Intelligibility, Voice quality, Room Acoustics and Acoustics for musicians.
