Michael:
This same mention of not using the full length of the vocal folds in
certain ranges or registers has been mentioned many time before on
this list. It is sometime mentioned as a kind of damping of the
vocal folds. Because of confusion about when, and if, this occurs in
all voices, I would be most interested and appreciative if you can
point me toward some research studies that define this phenomenon in
more detail.
Thanks for your help.
