Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Modal voice is the vocal register used most frequently in speech and singing in most languages. It is also the term used in linguistics for the most common phonation of vowels. The term "modal" refers to the resonant mode of vocal cords; that is, the optimal combination of airflow and glottal tension that yields maximum vibration. In linguistics, modal voice is the only phonation found in the vowels and other sonorants of most of the languages of the world, though a significant minority contrast modal voice with other phonations.
