What are the characteristics of modal voice?
Modal is what you would think of as normal or typical speech. This is the most frequently used register. The falsetto register is associated with a very thin and stiff vibration portion of the vocal fold, and is, therefore, associated with a higher f0 than in modal speech that has a lighter and breathier sound quality.
What are the 3 vocal registers?
These registers include modal voice (or normal voice), vocal fry, falsetto, and the whistle register. Registers originate in laryngeal function. They occur because the vocal folds are capable of producing several different vibratory patterns.
What are the 4 vocal registers?
Each of the patterns generates a characteristic sound and operates within a particular range, although some overlapping occurs. Based on this definition it is possible to identify 4 vocal registers: the Vocal Fry register, the Modal Voice register, the Falsetto register and the Whistle register.
