Phonetogram: how can I analyse my voice with Adobe Audition?

I'd like to make a phonetogram* of my voice, in order to analyse what its reach and volume-per-semitone is. Is there an option in Adobe Audition to do this?

An example: Phonetogram-6-months-post-laser-treatment-showing-increased-frequency-and-intensity.png

*A phonetogram displays the dynamic range of the human voice in terms of both fundamental frequency ( pitch ) and intensity (loudness). This display can be useful in identifying the limits of vocal function. (source)

Audition doesn't have a 'phonetogram' feature as such. However it's Spectral Frequency Display can give you a time v. frequency v. level display.

Thanks! I thought of that, but it works a bit more cumbersome to make an overview of the dynamic range of someone's voice. But I understand that such a phonetogram function is not the core essence of Audition. It could have been sweet though!

That's true - indeed analysis in anything other than the forms that are useful for editing doesn't really feature in Audition. There have been discussions about this over many years now, and I for one would like its capability in that direction to be extended. But in the same breath, I have to acknowledge that this would be very unlikely to bring any commercial benefit, so it's going to be stuck somewhere around the bottom of the 'potential new features' list for a while, I suspect.

That said, there's always the possibility of somebody writing an extension that could address some of these issues - as far as I'm aware, all the code hooks are there...
