| | First Pan-American/Iberian Meeting on Acoustics -Observation of Laryngeal Movements for Throat Singing- |
 | | Throat singing is sometimes called biphonic singing, or overtone singing because two or more distinct pitches (musical lines) are produced simultaneously in one tone. | | | Throat singers are able to keep healthy, clear, and beautiful voices though they use pressed-type voices which are regarded to be a non-preferable phonation in European traditional musical pedagogy. | | | For instance, European traditional singing styles were developed as a result of performing in stone-made acoustical environment. |

| | Tuvan and Mongolian Throat Singing |
| | Singing, however, can be more broadly defined as music performed with the mouth, without the aid of another device, such as a musical instrument. | | | Throat singing generally defined is any kind of music that includes manipulating the throat to produce different sounds (What is Khoomei?). | | | To the Western world, khöömei is also known as overtone singing, harmonic singing, and harmonic chant (Throat Singing). |

| | Throat singing |
| | "Throat singing" is a kind of catch-all term for several different styles of vocal music, which are particularly characteristic of central Asia. | | | David Hykes can actually sing one melody in normal voice and another melody in harmonics at the same time, which I think is amazing. | | | The vocalist sings in normal voice (usually a drone) and shapes the vocal tract to emphasize one harmonic, playing melodies by running up and down the harmonics. |

| | Throat Singers of Tuva |
| | Throat singing is a form of stylized storytelling, where the music represents a variety of natural sounds: birds, flowing water, or the jingle of stirrups on a galloping horse, a press release said. | | | The Tuvan Throat Singers come from a herding culture that expresses their sense of place in the natural world through music. | | | The third musician, Sayan Bapa, only recently learned to perform Throat Singing because of his love for classical music. |

| | Throat singing is a special vocal technique sometimes referred to as polyphonic singing. | | | There was an award winning film released about this singer (available on DVD) and he's released a couple of CDs as well. | | | A single monk was able to make himself sound like two more people with no special effects or echo, just with his own gutteral chants. |

| | As the bluesy sound of his steel guitar combined with the deep growl of his throat song, the crowd went wild with delight. | | | Pena was hooked on multi-harmonic vocal music that allows a singer to hit up to four notes at the same time to produce a reverberating growl that sounds like a frog with something caught in its throat. | | | After the concert, Pena broke into a self-taught Tuvan song as champion throat singer Kongar-ol Ondar walked through the hallway. |

| | Interesting Thing of the Day: Throat Singers |
| | Throat singing is closely related to vocal techniques known as overtone singing, harmonic singing, and multiphonic singing. | | | Ordinary vocal sounds that are made by vibrating the vocal cords consist of a fundamental tone and a number of higher-pitched harmonics or overtones, faint pitches that are mathematically related to the fundamental and help to determine the overall quality, or timbre, of the sound. | | | But in every case throat singing sounds like it could not possibly be coming from a human being—especially not a single human. |

| | Scientific American: The Throat Singers of Tuva |
| | It turns up, for example, in the singing of Xhosa women in South Africa and, in an unusual case of musical improvisation, in the 1920s cowboy songs of Texan singer Arthur Miles, who substituted overtone singing for the customary yodeling. | | | Some contemporary Western musicians also have mastered the practice and call it overtone singing, harmonic singing or harmonic chant. | | | The second is a series of flutelike harmonics, which resonate high above the drone and may be musically stylized to represent such sounds as the whistle of a bird, the syncopated rhythms of a mountain stream or the lilt of a cantering horse. |

| | A miraculous method of singing |
| | As the fundamental tone remains constant, melodies are sung with the highest overtone, that resembles the sound of a flute. | | | Siberian singers, however, constrain the part of throat called false vocal chords and vary the shape of their pharynx and tongue to produce miraculous overtones of various kinds. | | | by a number of Central Asian tribes, throat singing is a peculiar vocal art with three basic vocalizing methods and at least four submethods that allow a singer to simultaneously sing with two, indeed, sometimes even with four voices. |

| | Types of Throat Singing, with Tips |
| | Except for the throat technique, this style is vaguely related to western overtone singing styles that use vowels and mouth shapes to affect the harmonic content. | | | Nasal singing is common among western overtone singers. | | | If one can sing both Kargyraa and Sygyt then Chilandyk is not too difficult; what is challenging is maintaining the base pitch in tune while singing the Sygyt melody. |

| | Tuvan Throat-Singers Perform Feats of Harmonic Acrobatics |
| | These researchers found that singers used anatomical structures, such as the false vocal cords and the aryepiglottic folds, as well as the tongue to create distinct but interconnected resonating chambers capable of accentuating or dampening harmonics. | | | Often the loudest tone is lacking entirely the familiar, root quality of vibrating vocal cords one detects even in the most refined singing in the West. | | | Levin led a recording expedition to Tuva in 1987 which produced, among other things, a Smithsonian Folkways recording called ``Tuva: Voices From the Center of Asia.'' To hear a sample of singing by a man named Tumat Kara-ool (born in 1935) from that recording, see the instructions that follow. |

| | To make a musical note with them you need to sing a "normal" note (with your ordinary vocal flaps) and then let the ventricular flaps resonate - normally they'll begin to resonate one octave below the note you're singing, which is why they sound so low. | | | Kargyraa is a deep growling sound achieved with a vocal technique called "VVM" (Vocal Ventricular Mode). | | | Since it's a lot further from a pure sine wave than ordinary singing is, all these harmonics show up on the graph. |

| | Overtone singing can be heard in Tibetan chanting, Gregorian singing, Native American throat singing, and in many other cultures. | | | The overtones are sympathetic sounds which seem to originate from outside the singer. | | | With focus and intent the singer reshapes the vocal chamber of the throat and mouth to create a variable resonance. |

| | ..."Most throat music is overtone music, in which one voice provides drone or harmonics and another the melody, both emanating from a solo vocalist. | | | The blues and the eerie, often-guttural sounds of throat singing make a natural match, one that simply bewitches with the clear overtones and melodies, while the guitar and Tuvan banjo offer simple, but very plaintive, accompaniment. | | | But the technique isn't confined to northern Central Asia; given a world full of people with music in their heads and time on their hands, varieties of overtone singing were certain to be heard elsewhere.... |

| | Throat singing differs from conventional singing in that the singer controls the overtones in the voice rather than the fundamental, which is done by varying the shape of the mouth and position of the tongue. | | | If you’re interested in hearing what throat singing sounds like, there are heaps of free MP3’s available for download. | | | Although experienced throat singers can produce incredible harmonics using just their mouth, I have found that the effects can be enhanced enormously by practising in the right places. |

| | The sound is created here, at the vocal folds, which are house in the larynx (your larynx is the bony bump on the front of your throat, often called the voice box, or Adams apple). | | | The sounds continues up into the vocal tract to the back of the throat, where it resonates, and exits at the mouth. | | | See Mark's site at SINGING VOICE WEBSITE - The Singing Voice provides detailed information, history and links about the human voice, opera and the art of singing. |

| | Now let's examine what's inside the larynx and learn about the structures that are involved in choking, holding one's breath or the creation of the sounds of singing or speech, which we call vocalization or phonation. | | | However, the function of the false vocal folds is thought not to be nearly so critical for airway protection or vocalization as are the true vocal folds. | | | The vocal folds are also called the 'true vocal folds' because immediately above the ventricle, there is a second set of folds called the 'false vocal folds', or ventricular folds. |
