Abstract
An essay is presented that discusses defining efficient voice production. The focus has been on acoustic efficiency, the ease in which glottal airflow is converted to acoustic pressure at the mouth. Singers have two major problems: (1) The resonator (the vocal tract) is too small to provide many resonances where they are needed. (2) The resonances are already taken by the fact that singers want to speak while they sing. To achieve high intensity of sound, the glottal flow can be made to change very abruptly by using the vocal tract as a kind of suction device. The key is not to raise the amount of flow but to delay the reduction of glottal flow.
