| | The Vocal Studio - Vocal FAQs & Myths |
 | | When a singer ascends from their speaking chest voice into their head voice, the vocal cords shorten in vibrating length as sound waves begin to travel more and more behind the soft palate, resonating in the head cavity. | | | As a result, too much air forces the vocal cords apart, creating a "break." During falsetto the vocal cords are actually bowed apart and are unable to blend with chest voice, making it impractical to use except for special vocal stylings. | | | Rather than connecting to their speaking chest voice, the vocal cords just get looser and looser as they descend, blowing excessive air past the vocal folds. |

| | During the production of the chest voice, the space between the arytenoid cartilages is open, and between the vocal cords there is an ellipsoidal opening which gradually closes as the pitch of the sound rises (see figs. | | | It stretches the thyro-arytenoid ligaments, knis, the free edges of which, covered by mucous membrane, form the vocal cords. | | | The vocal cords will be also relaxed by the elasticity of the parts. |

| | Benign noncancerous growths on the vocal cords are caused by voice misuse or overuse and from trauma or injury to the vocal cords. | | | Vocal cord polyp(s) or cyst(s) are other common vocal cord lesions caused by misuse, overuse, or trauma to the vocal cords and frequently require surgical removal after all nonsurgical treatment options (i.e., speech therapy) have failed. | | | It is important to be cautious with your voice during an episode of laryngitis, because the swelling of the vocal cords increases the risk for serious injury such as blood in the vocal cords or formation of vocal cord nodules, polyp, or cysts. |

| | Laryngitis - OhioHealth |
| | Inside the larynx are your vocal cords — two folds of mucous membrane covering muscle and cartilage. | | | But when your vocal cords become inflamed or irritated, they swell, causing distortion of the sounds produced by air passing over them. | | | In adults, other causes of chronic hoarseness may include sores (contact ulcers) or growths (polyps or nodules) on the vocal cords, loosening of vocal cords due to aging, and vocal cord paralysis, which can result from injury, stroke or a tumor. |

| | Otolaryngology - Vocal Cord Disorders |
| | Vocal nodules are benign (non-cancerous) growths on the vocal cords caused by vocal abuse. | | | The sound the vocal cords produce is then sent through the throat, nose, and mouth, giving the sound "resonance." The sound of each individual voice is determined by the size and shape of the vocal cords and the size and shape of the throat, nose, and mouth (the resonating cavities). | | | The nodules usually form on areas of the vocal cords that receive the most pressure when the cords come together and vibrate (similar to the formation of a callous). |

| | Voice Registers: Chest, head and other voices at Vocalist.org.uk |
| | Falsetto is the lightest register and requires loose vocal cords and incomplete closure which produces a breathy voice that can sound quite feminine although it is generally used by men rather than women. | | | First of all the singer has to understand that there is only one set of vocal cords which are used in conjunction with the rest of the vocal mechanism (resonating spaces, airflow, support) to produce sound. | | | These 'sections' are loosely catagorised by how cords vibrate, glottal and pharyngeal shape, where the voice resonates in the body and the resulting quality or timbre of the voice. |

| | But because your vocal cords are not yet coordinated to stay adducted through the passage area, the "crack" or "flip" you are experiencing is a disconnection from your chest voice into falsetto or chest to head. | | | It is the uncontrolled breathy or whistly sound that results from the vocal cords separating and most often occurs when a singer has not learned to coordinate their vocal cords to stay closing between registers. | | | As a result, too much air forces the vocal cords apart, creating a "break." During falsetto the vocal cords are actually bowed apart and are unable to blend with chest voice, making it impractical to use except for special vocal stylings. |

| | Voice analysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The vocal cords of a person speaking for an extended period of time will suffer from tiring, that is, the process of speaking exerts a load on the vocal cords where the tissue will suffer from tiring. | | | Movements in the vocal cords are rapid, fundamental frequencies are usually between 80 and 300 Hz, thus preventing usage of ordinary video. | | | A medical study of the voice can be, for instance, analysis of the voice of patients who have had a polyp removed from his or her vocal cords through an operation. |

| | Since the vocal cords are attached to the arytenoid cartilages posteriorly and the thyroid cartilage anteriorly, regulation of vocal cord tension (and therefore pitch of the voice) is accomplished primarily by pivoting the thyroid cartilage forward or backward at the cricothyroid joint (Figure 51. | | | Abduction of the vocal cords may be accomplished either by externally rotating the arytenoid cartilages on a pivot located at the angle of the "L" (center panel, Figure 6), or by sliding the 2 arytenoid cartilages apart slightly (right panel, Figure 6). | | | The LARYNX is an apparatus made up of cartilage, ligaments, muscles, and mucous membrane, which guards the entrance to the lower respiratory passages (trachea, bronchi, and lungs) and houses the vocal cords. |

| | Vocal crack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Vocal cracking is an obvious switch in vocal registration caused by the singer's vocal cords' inability to handle maintaining a particular vocal pitch while simultaneously changing its vocal dynamic, or by a singer attempting to reach a pitch beyond the capabilities of a particular vocal register. | | | Vocal cracking also occurs during puberty, when teenagers' vocal cords catch up to their developing larynges, as the vocal adductor muscles struggle to regain their strength at this new speaking voice pitch. | | | Vocal cracking is nearly absent in professional singing and thus is a sign of lack of proper vocal training. |
