The article deals with topical problems of diagnosing the qualitative characteristics of the voice of future speech therapists. Speech therapists, as representatives of the voice-speech profession, with an increase in speech load, often experience such common difficulties as rapid voice fatigue, tension and inflammation of the vocal folds, the appearance of unpleasant sensations in the larynx, a decrease in voice quality, and others. Therefore, the professional training of the voice of future speech therapists is a very important and significant problem. The aim of the study was a comprehensive study of the acoustic parameters of the voice of future speech therapists. The main methods were preparation and collection of audio materials in specially organized conditions using an audio interface, analysis of audio materials using computer technology and innovative developments. When diagnosing the voice, special attention was paid to the study of the pitch and strength of the voice, their range values, physiological and phonation respiration, voice timbre and type of voice delivery. The results of the examination of breathing and phonation time showed that the students — future speech therapists are dominated by the thoracic type of breathing (59,3 %), the mixed type of breathing is observed in 25,9 % and the abdominal type of breathing in 14,8 % of students, the average value of the phonation time is 18,5 seconds. The main range of voice height was 153–278 Hz. By the end of the task, many students’ voices became higher than at the beginning of the task, which indicated an increase in the tension of the vocal folds. During the tasks, 11,1 % of the participants had persistent nasalization, 33,3% had hoarseness, which increased towards the end of the task. The timbre of the subjects’ voices did not change. 14,8 % of students could not reflect the characters of the characters in the process of phonation. In 29,6 % of the participants, speech was inexpressive, the voice was not sufficiently modulated, monotonous, intonation changes were minimal. As a result of this study, the features of the components of the voice of future speech therapists were identified, and the need to develop a special complex for preparing the voice of students for speech therapy practice was identified. To implement the professional training of the voice of future speech therapists, it is necessary to develop a course of phonopedic exercises. The creation of such a complex of phonopedic influence will make it possible to qualitatively train students in mastering the techniques of proper breathing, voice leading and prepare their voice for the required professional loads.
