Muscular groups shaping the vocal tract in classical singing: An MRI-based pilot study
Original language description
The shape of the vocal tract is important for classical singing. The goal of our work was to identify the distinct muscular groups based on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the vocal tract. Two male singers were studied who produced voice both in na?veand operatic voice quality at the same fundamental frequency for two different vowels [a] and [e]. In operatic voice the MR images revealed following shaping tendencies of the vocal tract: a) Larynx lowering and narrowing of the epilaryngeal tube, b) raising of the soft palate, c) flattening of the tongue, and d) straightening of spine.
