Abstract
A brief summary of the purpose of standardization is given. This is followed by a few suggestions about methods and procedures in acoustic voice analysis that could benefit from consensus, if not fully developed standards. In particular, better agreement on test utterances, techniques for recording voices, and methods for extracting fundamental frequency is called for. Some new databases and calibration materials are in need of development, with better portability and shareability in mind.
