๐Ÿ“‹ Composite View

The Composite View rolls all the data into one "checkup report" so you can see the overall state of your voice at a glance.

๐Ÿ’š Vocal Health Score โ€” How Does Your Voice Score?

A circular 0-100 gauge. It blends four dimensions โ€” closure, singer's formant, stability and vibrato โ€” into one overall score.

80-100 ๐ŸŸขExcellent โ€” your voice is in great shape!
60-79 ๐ŸŸขGood โ€” room to grow
40-59 ๐ŸŸ Fair โ€” some areas need attention
0-39 ๐Ÿ”ดNeeds work โ€” targeted practice recommended

๐Ÿฉบ Symptom Detection โ€” The "Checkup Report" for Your Voice

SonaLab automatically detects problems that may appear while you sing and presents them as "flip cards".

Analogy

๐Ÿฅ Like a hospital checkup, where the doctor tells you "blood pressure is a bit high" or "blood sugar is normal". Symptom Detection is the "checkup doctor" for your voice โ€” it tells you what needs attention.
Extrinsic CompensationThe muscles beside your neck are helping produce soundLip trills, straw phonation
Insufficient ClosureFolds not closing firmly โ€” air leaks out"Gug" arpeggios, humming
Register BreakThe voice suddenly "snaps" moving from low to highOctave slides, sirens
Tongue RetractionThe tongue root pulls back and blocks the sound channel"Nay" arpeggios, tongue trills
Excessive NasalityToo much sound escaping through the nose"Gah" exercises, soft palate training

Tip

โฑ๏ธ Vocal Load โ€” How Long Have You Practiced Today?

Below the health score sits a "Today's Vocal Load" progress bar. It tracks how long you have been voicing today, so you can avoid over-practicing.

Analogy

๐Ÿƒ Like a sports watch counting the kilometers you run. Run too much and you get injured; sing too much and your voice gets tired. This bar is the "activity tracker" for your voice.
Room to spare ๐Ÿ”ตFine to keep practicing
Near the limit ๐ŸŸ Take breaks, slow the pace
Limit reached ๐Ÿ”ดEnough for today โ€” come back tomorrow!

Warning

If you see the "sustained high-intensity high notes too long โ€” rest recommended" alert, take it seriously. Sustained high-intensity phonation can damage your vocal folds.

โš–๏ธ Vocal Balance โ€” The Three Balances at a Glance (L3 Expert)

This is the core idea of the SonaLab vocal analysis method: a good voice needs balance in three dimensions.

Analogy

๐ŸŽธ Everyday analogies for the Three Balances:
โ‘  Vocal Balance = the tension of a guitar string. Too tight sounds shrill, too loose sounds dull โ€” tuned just right, it sings.
โ‘ก Dynamic Balance = a speaker's volume and quality. Not just loud โ€” also clear, with carrying power.
โ‘ข Airflow Balance = a faucet's stream. No leaks, no blockage โ€” the water flows smooth and strong.
