	Inuit Throat-Singing
		In September 2001, there was, for the first time, a Throat Singing Conference, which took place in Puvernituk, Nunavut, where one could hear different types of throat-singing from different regions of Canada.
		Throat-singing is a very accurate technique in a sense that when you are singing fast, the person who is following the leader has to go in every little gap the leader leaves for her to fill in.
		To me, this singing was like a great boom, a great spirit that was whispering with a very strong voice, even though it sounded like whispering.

	Throat singing
		Throat singing, also known in the western world as overtone singing, harmonic singing, or harmonic chant and in Mongolia and Outer Mongolia as khöömei, is a type of singing that manipulates the harmonic resonances created as air travels through the human vocal folds and out the lips.
		Ethnomusicologists studying throat singing in these areas mark khöömei as an integral part in the ancient pastoral animism that is still practised today.
		Studies measuring the frequencies of the throat singing and the brain waves of the monks have shown synchronicity in the brain, causing it to emit similar waves to those found in studies of silent meditation.

	Throat singing
		Throat singing, also known in the western world as overtone singing, harmonic singing, or harmonic chant; and many other regional names, is a type of singing that manipulates the harmonic resonances created as air travels through the human vocal folds and out the lips.
		The harmonic frequencies created by the human vocal apparatus are harnessed in throat singing to select overtones by tuning the resonance in the mouth.
		While khöömei is used as a generic term to designate all throat singing techniques in this region, it is also more specifically a technique where the drone is in the middle-range of the voice, with harmonics between one and two octavias above.

	THROAT SINGING PATHFINDER
		Throat singing (also called harmonic singing, biphonic or diphonic singing, overtone singing, xoomij or khoomei) is a set of vocal styles and techniques native to Central Asia (including parts of Mongolia, Tibet, and most notably the Republic of Tuva in southern Siberia).
		Throat singing has much in common with other types of singing, and the basic tongue and lip movements required for manipulating vocal resonances are similar to those needed for distinguishing vowels in ordinary speech, as well as to the vocal modifications used by opera singers to make their voices audible over orchestral accompaniment.
		Besides its disciplinary connections, throat singing is a potentially valuable topic for general undergraduate education because it can evoke, initially, an exciting sense of novelty and "foreignness" and, later, a broadened perspective and a new level of understanding and appreciation of the range of human possibility.

	Tuvan Overtone Singing: Harmonics Out of Place
		Overtone singing is a type of singing in which one or more upper harmonics carry the melody, while the lower harmonics, including the fundamental, sustain a steady drone beneath the melody.
		Hypotheses as to the mechanics of overtone singing range from ideas as to the necessary physical stance and posture used by the singer during a performance, to the actual physical formation of the mouth cavity in producing the overtones.
		Instead it appears that when throat singers want to include a text, they cannot melodicize overtones until the text is over; the text is "ordinary", monophonic singing, with the fundamental frequency carrying the melody of the song; overtone melodies do not occur until the text is over.

	Inuit throat singing
		Unlike the throat singers in other regions of the world, particularly, Tibet, Mongolia and Tuva, the Inuit performers are usually women who sing only duetss in a kind of entertaining contest to see who can outlast the other.

		Often the singing is accompanied by a shuffling in rhythm from one foot to the other.

	First Pan-American/Iberian Meeting on Acoustics -Observation of Laryngeal Movements for Throat Singing- (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Throat singing is sometimes called biphonic singing, or overtone singing because two or more distinct pitches (musical lines) are produced simultaneously in one tone.
		The production of the highly pitched overtone of throat singing is mainly due to the pipe resonance of the cavity from the larynx to the point of articulation in the vocal tract, which appear as the 2nd formant in its sound spectrum.
		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.

	Throat Singers: Interesting Thing of the Day
		Throat singing is closely related to vocal techniques known as overtone singing, harmonic singing, and multiphonic singing.
		What throat singers do is to select a fundamental pitch at which certain formants will naturally be strongest, and then manipulate their vocal tracts in such a way as to reinforce individual harmonics even further.
		There’s another pair of tissues slightly higher up in the throat known as the false folds; these, along with various other protrusions of cartilage and tissue, can be manipulated, with practice, to make other pitches in addition to the one produced by the vocal folds.
