- This paper proposes a pioneering method for exploring the acoustics of the vocal tract and demonstrates its effectiveness against previous work that involved the injecting water into a subject's piriform fossae (dangerous because water could end up in the lungs). The results have furthered knowledge of vocal tract acoustic changes in professional singing; a community with a thirst for quantifiable knowledge. It has implications for the exploration of the acoustic properties of different areas of the vocal tract (a subsequent paper from our group explored the acoustics of the valleculae this way) that cannot be explored in any other way.
