Thanks for the reference Lloyd. Son finally got it for me from Con library. Fascinating stuff. Am I allowed to quote at least one of the striking details?... :) Dammit I will!
Vocal fold length 1cm Vibrational amplitude 1mm...amazing! Mass of fold 1 gram...even more amazing. Smallest vibrational period 1ms.
Wow.... but there's still more...
So how do I manage NEVER to cough again?
Serious question... when recovering from a serious cold where your voice has been assaulted for weeks, what is the most systematic method of rejuvenating it? About 6 weeks ago (no exactly 6 weeks ago) I was struck down by my dear daughter's cold right at the peak of my (ample) :) ability. It rapidly peaked and calmed itself within a fortnight but then the irritation seems to keep me from regaining my previous peak. What am I supposed to do?
Any good ideas?
