Sustained high notes, diminishing gradually from the loudest to the softest phonation within a maneuver called messa di voce, are examined in two contrasting professional tenor voices. Signals of the sound pressure level, electroglottograph, and mean esophageal pressure are recorded, and similar maneuvers by the same subjects are examined stroboscopically. The lyric voice is found to make a gradual diminuendo while maintaining nearly constant posture of the vocal tract together with a phase of complete closure in the glottal cycle. The robust voice, by contrast, passes abruptly from a production of high subglottal pressure and a high closed quotient to one of low pressure and incomplete closure, and the transition is marked by a sudden opening of the previously constricted laryngeal collar. It is proposed that the mode of soft voice production demonstrated by the robust voice be recognized as a distinct register of the singing voice.
