Perry Smith – So in your world, you believe
in 2 registers? [Answer audio link includes discussion about registers.]
[In answer audio link:] My question was, does the configuration
of the vocal folds and the laryngeal positioning - are they the same
in your studies in falsetto as what we would consider in the classical
field, "head voice?" In all my experience of 35 years in the professional
world, males only use falsetto, and it’s only used for
a comic effect, not in a performance setting, and we never considered
females having a falsetto. So I wondered why you use those terms,
and if you found a difference actually between
falsetto configuration, not only the positioning, breath closure
rate, vocal fold adduction, between falsetto and legitimate head
voice? Audio link. |

Ingo Titze – I agree with you that the mechanism you are
showing is primarily laryngeal, but just a comment about the yodel.
That’s a nice example of how we use the vocal tract situation
to actually trigger the register change and help it….click

Johan Sundberg – I was interested in your connection/relationship between closed quotient and register, and I think it
could be even better if you take into account subglottal pressure,
because subglottal pressure has a very strong influence on the closed
quotient, and if you compare it to tones that were produced with
different subglottal pressures, the closed quotients are very
likely to differ at least for the subglottal pressure difference and the register
difference. Audio link. |
