>Adding nasality to the tone as a means of creating a different tonal quality >is heard more in non-classical singing than in classical singing. . . .
I had a teacher who demonstrated a sound that often is called nasality that he described as squillo and claimed was actually the direct product of the vocalis muscle. He described thyroarytenoids as producing the "ring" in the sound while the "edge" came from the vocalis. I have not yet found studies that verify these assertions. Has anyone on the list? Michael E.
