Introduction: Parkinson disease (PD) is classified as a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. By the progress of the disease, it promotes several speech and voice alterations, that can have repercussions in the life quality of patients. Considering it, this study tried to relate speech and voice to life quality of patients with PD. Aim: to correlate speech and voice parameters to Voice Handicap Index (VHI), according to different stages of Hoehn & Yahr (HY) scale. Approach: 56 individuals were selected between August and December of 2006. The assessments from these patients were analyzed and then submitted to voice recording in order to characterize the speech and voice alterations. VHI questionnaire was also applied to verify vocal disability occurrence, based on HY stages. Results: the outcomes of speech and voice parameters and the VHI ones, from the 56 individuals placed between level 2,0 and 4,0 of the mentioned scale, were correlated. It was found that speech and voice parameters which significantly worsened according to the stages were the followings: monopitch, monoloudness, little intra-oral air pressure for consonants, speech velocity, prolonged intervals and imprecise articulation. VHI outcomes experienced vocal disadvantage in all stages, being stage 2,0 the less compromised one followed by 3,0, 2,5, and 4,0. Regarding speech and voice parameters and VHI outcomes, the functional domain was the most compromised, correlated to vocal, prosodic and articulatory aspects. Conclusion: It was concluded from the findings that speech and voice was damaged accordingly to the disease evolution in the parameters related to monopitch, monoloudness, prosody and articulation. It was noticed, from the VHI answers, that individuals felt vocal disadvantages since the start of the disease. The functional domain was the most compromised, emotional being the least one
