“…Apart from being a stylistic characteristic, breathy or tense vocalisation can be indicative of vocal disorders: hypofunction and hyperfunction of the glottis [Froeschels, 1943]. Their diagnostics and treatment are a prime concern in the disciplines of vocology (voice rehabilitation) and phoniatrics (in case of functional or anatomic pathologies) [Ramig and Verdolini, 1998].…”

“…In singing it is singing teachers/educators who have the deepest operational knowledge of all the issues related to vocal production and in particular to phonation modes. Most singing students display various kinds of voice hypo-and/or hyperfunction during the stages of their progress [Froeschels, 1943]. The students' perception mechanisms are not sufficient for self-control (in absence of any visual or any reliable auditory indicators).…”

In this paper we present an experiment on automatic detection of phonation modes from recordings of sustained sung vowels. We created an open dataset specifically for this experiment, containing recordings of nine vowels from multiple languages, sung by a female singer on all pitches in her vocal range in phonation modes breathy, neutral, flow (resonant) and pressed. The dataset is available under a Creative Commons license at http://www.proutskova.de/phonation-modes/ .First, glottal flow waveform is estimated via inverse filtering (IAIF) from audio recordings. Then six parameters of the glottal flow waveform are calculated. A 4-class Support Vector Machine classifier is constructed to separate these features into phonation mode classes. We automated the IAIF approach by computing the values of the input arguments -lip radiation and formant count -leading to the best-performing SVM classifiers (average classification accuracy over 60%), yielding a physical model for the articulation of the vowels.We examine the steps needed to generalise and extend the experimental work presented in this paper in order to apply this method in ethnomusicological investigations.

“…Traditionally, voice therapy for phonotrauma emphasizes voice conservation, 5,6 wherein patients are encouraged to minimize the quantity and/or loudness of phonation. [7][8][9] Biomechanically, this approach is sensible, because use of quiet-breathy phonation should minimize pathogenesis by limiting impact stress between the vocal folds. [10][11][12] However, there is little data to support this approach for the management of voice disorders.…”

Dynamic Biomechanical Strain Inhibits IL-1β–induced Inflammation in Vocal Fold Fibroblasts

et al. 2007

SummaryDespite the fact that vocal folds are subjected to extensive mechanical forces, the role of mechanical strain in vocal fold wound healing has been overlooked. Recent studies on other tissues have demonstrated that low physiological levels of mechanical forces are beneficial to injured tissues, reduce inflammation, and induce synthesis of matrix-associated proteins essential for enhanced wound healing. In this study, we speculated that mechanical strain of low magnitudes also attenuates the production of inflammatory mediators and alters the extracellular matrix synthesis to augment wound healing in cultured vocal fold fibroblasts. To test this hypothesis, fibroblasts from rabbit vocal folds were isolated and exposed to various magnitudes of cyclic tensile strain (CTS) in the presence or absence of interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Results suggest that IL-1β activates proinflammatory gene transcription in vocal fold fibroblasts. Furthermore, CTS abrogates the IL-1β-induced proinflammatory gene induction in a magnitude-dependent manner. In addition, CTS blocks IL-1β-mediated inhibition of collagen type I synthesis, and thereby upregulates collagen synthesis in the presence of IL-1β. These findings are the first to reveal the potential utility of low levels of mechanical signals in vocal fold wound healing, and support the emerging on vivo data suggesting beneficial effects of vocal exercise on acute phonotrauma.

His " chewing approach" is based on his idea th a t chewing and speech movements are identical [3]. O ut of the rich literature on this subject, I w ant to mention the contributions o f F.
