SPCH 103 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Vocal Folds, Vocal Register, Falsetto
Document Summary
Voice: vocal folds vibrate at normal pitch and loudness (vibrate) Whisper: arythenoids are open, vocal folds adducted, not vibrating. Falsetto: vocal folds are stretched and vibrating fast- high note falsetto is used in nuerophonia, beyond puberty. Measurements: describe the normal vocal registers and the vocal folds configuration to produce them. Whisper: arythenoids are open, vocal folds abducted but are not vibrating. Creaky: vocal folds vibrate only in the anterior part- low note. Falsetto: vocal folds are stretched and vibrating fast, producing the highest note. F0= loweest frequency of the voice signal (acoustic parameter)- perceived as pitch (our perception of f0)
