Abstract(in English) As expression word to express quality of a voice, various expression words are used generally. For example, "high-pitched", "youthful", "calm". In our past study, I extracted expression word related to quality of voice of normal utterance as the expression word that general people used. We did the experiment that considered a result of an extra experiment in order to examine these expression word and relation with sound connection quantity. We examine relation with expressions of voice quality and acoustic parameters in decision tree by cross-validation method, and tried construction of "the evaluation system of voice quality" which consisted of a program to estimate human auditory impression and speaker search program by auditory impression. As a result of experiment, estimate of auditory impression had considerably small errors, and as result of speaker search, the probability to put target voice in less than 10% was 94.1%. The evaluation system of voice quality, good performance was provided.
