Does the larynx rise with the production of higher frequencies? What happens to the pharyngeal walls between the soft palate and the larynx when the fundamental frequency is raised? How does the soft palate participate in pitch raising? To answer these questions, the present study was undertaken with the recently described simultaneous velolaryngeal endoscopy technique. Nine professional singers were asked to find the limits of their vocal range in any of six voice qualities: Speech, falsetto, cry\/sob, twang, belting, and opera. Simultaneous activities of the larynx, the pharyngeal walls, and the soft palate were submitted to videoendoscopy with synchronous voice recording and studied with spectroanalysis of discrete segments of the total phonation range. Our dual endoscopic study showed that 1) the larynx rose in all subjects with the production of higher frequencies, 2) with the highest fundamental frequency, the lateral pharyngeal walls significantly contracted toward the midline in an \u201cupside-down V shape,\u201d creating a very narrow pharyngeal tube, and 3) the soft palate lifted and the velopharyngeal port narrowed considerably with higher frequencies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/000348949110000104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,3]],"date-time":"2014-10-03T14:38:05Z","timestamp":1412347085000},"page":"19-30","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Supraglottic Contributions to Pitch Raising"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"100","author":[{"given":"Eiji","family":"Yanagisawa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"New Haven, Connecticut"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lawrence","family":"Mambrino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New Haven, Connecticut"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jo","family":"Estill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New York, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Talkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Murray Hill, New Jersey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1991,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-000348949110000104","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1044\/jshd.3804.473"},{"key":"bibr2-000348949110000104","first-page":"200","volume":"12","author":"Kuehn DP","year":"1975","journal-title":"Cleft Palate J"},{"key":"bibr3-000348949110000104","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00454269"},{"key":"bibr4-000348949110000104","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1044\/jshr.2302.429"},{"key":"bibr5-000348949110000104","first-page":"226","volume":"24","author":"Moon JB","year":"1987","journal-title":"Cleft Palate J"},{"key":"bibr6-000348949110000104","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-196804000-00008"},{"key":"bibr7-000348949110000104","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-196944040-00007"},{"key":"bibr8-000348949110000104","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/93.4.747"},{"key":"bibr9-000348949110000104","first-page":"803","volume":"7","author":"Skolnick ML","year":"1970","journal-title":"Cleft Palate J"},{"key":"bibr10-000348949110000104","first-page":"412","volume":"11","author":"Shprintzen RJ","year":"1974","journal-title":"Cleft Palate J"},{"key":"bibr11-000348949110000104","first-page":"51","volume":"12","author":"Shprintzen RJ","year":"1975","journal-title":"Cleft Palate J"},{"key":"bibr12-000348949110000104","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-198102000-00015"},{"key":"bibr13-000348949110000104","first-page":"88","volume":"26","author":"Stringer DA","year":"1989","journal-title":"Cleft Palate J"},{"key":"bibr14-000348949110000104","first-page":"1","volume":"5","author":"Lubker JF","year":"1968","journal-title":"Cleft Palate J"},{"key":"bibr15-000348949110000104","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1044\/jshr.1902.225"},{"key":"bibr16-000348949110000104","first-page":"25","volume":"19","author":"Kuehn DP","year":"1982","journal-title":"Cleft Palate J"},{"key":"bibr17-000348949110000104","first-page":"45","volume":"55","author":"Niimi S","year":"1978","journal-title":"Haskins Lab Status Report on Speech Research"},{"key":"bibr18-000348949110000104","unstructured":"Honda K, Estill J.
