Note: Complex & (ir)regular true vocal fold vibration without pitch (fundamental frequency) is named ‘creak’ in for example Complete Vocal Technique and ‘vocal fry’ in other methods / techniques / pedagogies. Complex & (ir)regular true / (a)periodic vocal fold vibration with pitch (fundamental frequency) is named ‘creaking’ in for example Complete Vocal Technique, but otherwise in other methods / techniques / pedagogies. One interesting example is the ‘pig squeal’, which is extremely high pitched creaking, used by a.o. metal singers. Melissa Cross calls this Fry scream.

Creaking can also be used with periodic oscillation. It’s then called ‘Strohbass’ and has a pitch (fundamental frequency). It is used, for example, by Gyuto monks, but also in classical choral singing. The pitch usually sounds one octave below the corresponding modal voice. But specialists can go down the subharmonic scale up to 1/5. It is also used in combination with vowel overtones in Tibetan monastic chants which are not explicit overtone singing, but accentuate harmonics in vowels. (Ref: Wolfgang Saus)

“Wow, Sarah! Congratulations on doing a tremendous job on this project. You’ve created a collection of beautiful, accurate anatomical illustrations that show just the right amount of detail, illuminated by clear labels. Thank you for providing a set of tools that will help the next generations to feel a lot more confident in their understanding of vocal anatomy.”

Dr. Claudia FriedlanderVoice teacher & Fitness Expert

“Super beautiful work, Sarah! Congratulations, I admire your commitment and knowledge.”

Prof. dr. Tom van HoofSpecialist human anatomy

“Beautiful work! Your drawings are thoroughly thought through, anatomically accurate, and especially excellent for didactic purposes.”

“You did a tremendous job, everything looks very professional and correct! Congratulations and good luck with the project!”

Dr. Mieke MoermanENT Surgeon, Laryngologist, Phoniatrician

“You have created simple drawings that capture all the important elements for teaching voice. I will be using these! You’ve done a lot of hard work and congratulations are in order!”

Kerrie ObertVoice Teacher, Adjunct Instructor & Clinical Voice Pathologist

On the different races: “My goodness… Never, ever, ever had the feeling of seeing us represented like this! Your work is beautiful, it makes me cry… I’m so used to never seeing someone make the effort to be inclusive. Bless you, Sarah”

“Your drawings are the best I’ve ever seen. They only show relevant info, unlike medical drawings that show everything – which might be confusing for students. The colour coding is also great, as it makes it even more specific.”
