randy,
so, are they only capable of adducting in the extreme? in my
experience, a number of students, who seem to have trouble with adduction,
have trouble because of their perception of the sound. for example; young
girls who can screech with great ease all day long (for years and years...),
suddenly can only manage a whimper when they are singing. often, these same
girls can manage a more adducted sound when asked to sing in a silly fashion
(like imitating opera singers or, julie andrews). i don't dispute the
possible physical explaination for poor adduction in these girls but, it
seems that some of their problem is in their concept of what it is they are
trying to do.
