On the Quantitative Relationship between Subglottal Pressure, Vocal Cord Tension, and Glottal Adduction in Singing
نویسنده
چکیده
The quantitative relationship between glottal flow parameters (fundamental frequency, average flow, peak flow etc.) and glottal control parameters (cord tension, glottal adduction, subglottal pressure) has been measured. Using the condition of constant glottal flow our model is able to produce the range of pitches of the modal tenor register. Increasing fundamental frequency is realized by increasing vocal cord tension, increasing subglottal pressure, and decreasing glottal adduction.

Vocalization is rare among non-avian reptiles, with the exception of the crocodilians, the sister taxon of birds. Crocodilians have a complex vocal repertoire. Their vocal and respiratory system is not well understood but appears to consist of a combination of features that are also found in the extremely vocal avian and mammalian taxa. Anatomical studies suggest that the alligator larynx is ab...
متن کاملEffects of lung volume on the glottal voice source.
According to experience in voice therapy and singing pedagogy, breathing habits can be used to modify phonation, although this relationship has never been experimentally demonstrated. In the present investigation we examine if lung volume affects phonation. Twenty-four untrained subjects phonated at different pitches and degrees of vocal loudness at different lung volumes. Mean subglottal press...
متن کاملWhy so Different? Aspects of Voice Characteristics in Operatic and Musical Theatre Singing
This thesis addresses aspects of voice characteristics in operatic and musical theatre singing. The common aim of the studies was to identify respiratory, phonatory and resonatory characteristics accounting for salient voice timbre differences between singing styles. The velopharyngeal opening (VPO) was analyzed in professional operatic singers, using nasofiberscopy. Differing shapes of VPOs su...
متن کاملComparisons of pharynx, source, formant, and pressure characteristics in operatic and musical theatre singing.
Belting, a vocal technique typically cultivated in musical theatre singing, differs timbrally from operatic singing in many interesting respects. The underlying phonatory differences have not been previously investigated in detail. Yet, belting is frequently associated with disturbances of voice function. Articulatory and phonatory characteristics are investigated in a female subject who is a p...

Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the validity of preliminary reports showing that glottal aerodynamic measures can identify pathophysiological phonatory mechanisms for phonotraumatic and nonphonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction, which are each distinctly different from normal vocal function. Method Glottal aerodynamic measures (estimates of subglottal air pressure, peak-to-peak...
