Correlating Degree of Thyroid Tilt Independent of f<sub>o</sub> Control as a Mechanism for Phonatory Density with EGG and Acoustic Measures across Loudness Conditions
Phonatory density, as an auditory-perceptual denotation of vocal weight, is controlled by the degree of thyroid cartilage tilt. The study documents systematic variations in vocal fold lengths across several conditions of loudness while f<sub>o</sub> is maintained. The findings suggest a further mechanism of the thyroid cartilage related to voice quality beyond the control of f<sub>o</sub>. Further studies are needed to document pitch production mechanisms compensating for the maintenance of f<sub>o</sub> given vocal fold elongation during RD conditions.
