“…Previous studies have suggested that medial compression also may not in and of itself be pathologic or diagnostic of a voice disorder, but rather may be a dynamic supraglottic activity that is a normal component of articulation at the level of the larynx . False vocal fold approximation has been observed in classical singing, as well as other styles . Our findings showed that A‐P and medial compression significantly correlated, and therefore occur simultaneously.…”

“…3,9,12 False vocal fold approximation has been observed in classical singing, as well as other styles. [23][24][25] Our findings showed that A-P and medial compression significantly correlated, and therefore occur simultaneously. According to the VAS scores in this study, medial compression showed a significantly lower value than A-P narrowing, suggesting that medial compression does not play as large a role as A-P compression in shaping of the supraglottis in healthy singers.…”

“…Pershall et al [36] demonstrated similar results. Supraglottic compression has also been found in Middle Eastern singing [37]. In addition, there is empirical evidence that A-P constriction can contribute to an acoustic advantage (voice quality) [5,38].…”

Objective: The present study aimed to vocally assess a group of rock singers who use growl voice and reinforced falsetto. Method: A group of 21 rock singers and a control group of 18 pop singers were included. Singing and speaking voice was assessed through acoustic, perceptual, functional and laryngoscopic analysis. Results: No significant differences were observed between groups in most of the analyses. Acoustic and perceptual analysis of the experimental group demonstrated normality of speaking voice. Endoscopic evaluation showed that most rock singers presented during singing voice a high vertical laryngeal position, pharyngeal compression and laryngeal supraglottic compression. Supraglottic activity during speaking voice tasks was also observed. However, overall vocal fold integrity was demonstrated in most of the participants. Slightly abnormal observations were demonstrated in few of them. Singing voice handicap index revealed that the most affected variable was the physical sphere, followed by the social and emotional spheres. Conclusions: Although growl voice and reinforced falsetto represent laryngeal and pharyngeal hyperfunctional activity, they did not seem to contribute to the presence of any major vocal fold disorder in our subjects. Nevertheless, we cannot rule out the possibility that more evident vocal fold disorders could be found in singers who use these techniques more often and during a longer period of time.
