Sinuses, whistle voice, nasality, staccato, laryngeal massage, recovery time — teachers ask, the man who coined 'vocology' answers unrehearsed.

Voice teachers submitted the questions and Dr. Ingo Titze answers them cold, on camera, without having seen them first. You will get straight answers on whether the sinuses resonate, the difference between nasality and twang, what actually happens in whistle register, and why he prefers 'resonance' to 'formant'. He explains inertive reactance and how narrowing the epilaryngeal space drives the folds more efficiently, what staccato and messa di voce genuinely train, whether laryngeal massage helps, and how high a larynx can safely ride. He also shares the 72-hour figure for vocal fold recovery and closes with the self-organization research he is most excited about.
