	Creaky voice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Creaky voice (also called laryngealisation or vocal fry, especially in the US), is a special kind of phonation in which the arytenoid cartilages in the larynx are drawn together; as a result, the vocal folds are compressed rather tightly, becoming relatively slack and compact, and forming a large, irregularly vibrating mass.
		Creaky voice is one possible realisation of the Danish stød.
		Creaky voice manifests itself in the idiolects of some American English speakers, particularly at the beginnings of sentences that the speaker wishes to "soft-pedal".

	Phonation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A voiced sound is produced when an overpressure of air in the lungs causes the vocal folds to vibrate.
		The resulting sound is modified by movements in the vocal tract, by the volume of the airflow and by the degree of constriction of the folds.
		The voice source is used to change intonation and the tone of words by varying the subglottal pressure as well as the tension of the vocal folds.

	Stop consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Voiced stops are articulated with simulaneous vibration of the vocal cords, voiceless stops without.
		Voiced stops have a negative voice onset time, meaning the voicing begins before the stop is released.
		Aspirated stops have a voice onset time greater than zero, so that there is a period of voiceless airflow (a phonetic [h]) before the onset of the vowel.

		Voice therapy may help the patient compensate for the neurologic problem and improve other components of voice that are not directly affected by the disorder.
		Success of voice therapy in patients with unilateral vocal fold immobility is dependent on the position of the paralyzed vocal fold, the remaining vocal fold bulk, the tension present in the immobilized fold, the duration of the disorder, and surgical correction if performed.
		Voice therapy is an essential component of the overall treatment of a patient with a voice disorder.

		The somewhat misnamed breathy voiced vowels of Javanese have been retermed "slack voiced" by Ladefoged and Maddieson (1996).
		This paper extends the analysis of Javanese vowels to a wider range of vowels, describes in precise detail what the acoustic characteristics of Javanese slack voice are, and then examines the acoustic characteristics of the 'emphatic' voice quality often used in Javanese.
		Thus, it is necessary to extend the range of voice qualities found in Javanese from stiff and slack to include this breathy voice used for emphasis.

	Stop consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A stop is called "fully voiced" if it is voiced during the entire occlusion.
		In English, however, initial voiced plosives like [b] or [d] are only partially voiced, meaning that voicing picks up sometime during the occlusion.
		Other such phonation types include breathy voice, or murmur; slack voice; and creaky voice.

	Breathy voice
		Breathy voice is a special kind of phonation in which the vocal folds are vibrating as in normal voicing, but the glottal closure is incomplete, so that the voicing is somewhat inefficient and air continues to leak between the vocal folds throughout the vibration cycle with audible friction noise.
		A breathy voiced glottal approximant can be heard as an allophone of English [h] between vowels, e.g.

		The duration between the release of the stop and the voice onset is called ''voice_onset_time'' (VOT).
		Aspirated stops have a voice onset time greater than zero, so that there is a period of voiceless airflow (a phonetic) before the onset of the vowel.
		There are a series of stops in Korean, sometimes written with the IPA symbol for ejectives, which are produced using "stiff_voice", meaning there is increased contraction of the glottis than for normal production of voiceless stops.

	PHONATION FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Unvoiced is the default for obstruents, though modally voiced obstruents are also very common.
		The IPA diacritics ''under-ring'' and ''subscript wedge'', commonly called "voiceless" and "voiced", are sometimes used to indicate more lax/open and tense/closed states of the glottis, respectively.
		Phonetically, they have no manner or place_of_articulation other than their phonation (that is, ''glottal closure'', ''breathy voice'', and ''open airstream'').
