Abstract
The beauty of SOVT exercises is that most of the beneficial effects occur simultaneously, without much voluntary adjustment or deliberate targeting. The system self-regulates. For example, high lung pressure produces a large vibrational amplitude, but high lung pressure with an SOVT also produces more vocal fold separation. The combined actions leave the contact stress regulated at a low value. In other words, the spreading of the vocal folds is proportional to the lung pressures produced, thereby negating the effect of excessive collision that is experienced with open-mouth phonation at high lung pressures. Wide pitch ranges can be explored with SOVT exercises without paying a high price in terms of tissue trauma.
