Abstract
Suggests a practice exercise using a straw. Notes that the basic intent is to alter the acoustic load, which is normally very low in comparison to the glottal impedance in a vowel. Contends that phonating into a small-diameter straw establishes an overall large positive pressure throughout the vocal tract with the semi-occlusion at the lips, the vocal folds are kept apart, vibrating only with a small amplitude in a horizontal plane, and this is healty for the tissues while the abdominal muscles get a good workout. Includes references.
