Vocal fold vibration patterns and modes of phonation. 1995

J Sundberg
Department of Speech Communication and Music Acoustics, KTH, Stockholm, Sweden.

Voice source characteristics of some different modes of phonation as produced by a trained voice are combined with an analysis of the same singer's vocal fold vibrations as recorded by a digital high-speed imaging technique. Considerable differences between modes are found with regard to the waveform and amplitude of vocal fold vibration. The results support the assumption that the physiological input parameter underlying differences in mode of phonation is glottal adduction.

D008838 Microcomputers Small computers using LSI (large-scale integration) microprocessor chips as the CPU (central processing unit) and semiconductor memories for compact, inexpensive storage of program instructions and data. They are smaller and less expensive than minicomputers and are usually built into a dedicated system where they are optimized for a particular application. "Microprocessor" may refer to just the CPU or the entire microcomputer. Computers, Personal,Microprocessors,Computer, Personal,Microcomputer,Microprocessor,Personal Computer,Personal Computers

D014827 Vocal Cords A pair of cone-shaped elastic mucous membrane projecting from the laryngeal wall and forming a narrow slit between them. Each contains a thickened free edge (vocal ligament) extending from the THYROID CARTILAGE to the ARYTENOID CARTILAGE, and a VOCAL MUSCLE that shortens or relaxes the vocal cord to control sound production.

D014833 Voice Quality That component of SPEECH which gives the primary distinction to a given speaker's VOICE when pitch and loudness are excluded. It involves both phonatory and resonatory characteristics. Some of the descriptions of voice quality are harshness, breathiness and nasality. Qualities, Voice,Quality, Voice,Voice Qualities
