The parameters of the human voice change according to a mix of emotional, psychological and physical body conditions.However, while it is evident that this change occurs because of happiness, sadness, euphoria, depression, excitement, and so ahead, there is less evidence of a direct correlation of the change of the voice with respect to specific physical and/or pathological conditions and/or diseases.This work intends to demonstrate such a correlation in the specific case of the tuberculosis disease, evidencing differences in the voice parameters of unhealthy with respect healthy people.
