I think that, first thing in the morning, there is more actual weight in the vocal cords - maybe they're puffed up a bit like my eyes, and have a thicker coating of mucus. Also, as one vocalises more I imagine that they will have a bit more weight due to increased blood flow to the active region, and possibly even to swelling due to irritation, which leads me to a question: to what extent might such swelling be an accepted part of normal singing? Just a thought. john
