Abstract
The relationship between tongue pressure and intraoral air pressure during variations in vocal intensity was investigated. Simultaneous recordings of the two intraoral pressures were collected during the phonations of nine young adult males repeating syllables at three distinct vocal intensity levels. Both intraoral pressures were shown to increase as the subjects increased their vocal level from low to medium to high. These results demonstrate that an interaction between tongue activity and respiratory air flow occurs, which accounts for variations in intraoral air pressure during changes in vocal intensity. These data when combined with previously reported data for consonants demonstrates the relationship between air pressure and tongue pressure.
