Background and Objectives : Vocal abuse and misuse and muscle tension dysphonia that have various movements of false vocal folds may be related to the development of benign vocal folds lesions, such as vocal nodules, polyps, and cysts. This study was designed to determine whether benign vocal folds lesions were related with movements of false vocal folds on phonation. Material and Methods : One Hundred and seventy eight subjects were studied. All subjects received otolaryngological evaluation including videostroboscopy, objective voice measures. Patients were diagnosed as normal shape of vocal folds (group a), approximation of bilateral false vocal folds (group b), approximation of unilateral false vocal folds (group c), lateralized extension of false vocal folds (group d), and medialized approximation of posterior false vocal folds (group e). We analyzed the results of benign vocal folds lesions in each group. Results : Differences were found between the normal shaped group and the abnormal shaped group. No differences were found between each abnormal groups except group d and e. Conclusion : The shape of false vocal folds was related to the benign vocal folds lesions.

The goal of this study was to investigate acoustic and physiologic characteristics of two phonation types of 'Khoomei' which is a traditional singing style of people who live around the Altai mountains or Mongolia region. It can be produced two pitches simultaneously - high melody pitch can be perceived along with a low drone pitch. Sygyt and kargyraa styles are the most popular and identifiable styles and they can be recognized as the different sounds depending on the method of voice production. Two trained Mongolians participated and have used at least 5 - 6 years. The characteristics of this voice production were measured by using flexible fiberscope, Stroboscopy, Lx Speech studio, Spead, and Doctor Speech. In Sygyt style, very high vocal fold closure (71.50%) with both true and false vocal folds contact and strong breathing support was observed. They also showed that tongue height and harmonics were increased (around 10dB) with resonance cavity movement. In contrast, it was found that Kargyraa sound had very low pitch with relaxed stomach, less laryngeal tension and lower vocal fold contact (69.50%) than hard Sygyt style sound without raising the tongue during phonation. 'Khoomei' phonation can be made by strong contact of both true and false vocal folds and by increasing the harmonics as well.

Functional dysphonia (FD) is a disease entity which includes various voice disorders in the absence of structural or neurologic laryngeal pathology. Muscle tension dysphonia (MTD), psychogenic dysphonia are representative FD with completely different pathogenesis. Therefore there is no standard treatment modality for FD, the first step of treatment of FD is differentiating patient's voice symptoms from other organic voice disorders and other functional voice problems. MTD is a functional voice disorder caused by hyperfunction of intrinsic and extrinsic laryngeal musculature. Symptoms include increased vocal effort, roughness, fatigue and odynophonia. First line for MTD is indirect or direct voice therapy. Unfortunately, many patients with MTD improve with voice therapy alone. For these patients, various modalities tried; lidocaine application, surgical excision of the false vocal folds, and botulinum toxin injection, etc. Botulinum toxin injections are widely used in the field of otolaryngology, especially for spasmodic dysphonia. However, its use in FD or MTD has only been described in few case reports. The aim of this lecture is to evaluate the feasibility of botulinum toxin injection for FD, especially MTD.

Laryngeal hemangioma occurs mostly in infantile patients and infantile hemangiomas can be frequently seen in the subglottic area. So, respiratory distress is a main symptom in this entity. But adult hemangiomas are rare and can be seen in different locations such as in epiglottis, aryepiglottic fold, arytenoids and false and true vocal folds. Authors experienced a case of mixed hemangioma at the right aryepiglottic fold in a 42 years-old-man who was presented with snoring, throat foreign body sense for 3 months. So, we report this case with a review of the literature.

본 연구는 음성 과학에 근간을 두고 있는 에스틸 보이스 트레이닝(Estill Voice Training) 모델의 구조연습(Figure)이 배우가 인물을 창조하는 연기예술에 있어 음성적 전문성의 확장으로 기여할 수 있는 가능성을 모색하고 그에 따른 활용방안을 고찰하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 음성 산출 기관의 유동성과 구조적 측면의 기능성을 통한 훈련 모델은 모호한 추상성에 기인하여 소리의 결과에만 천착하는 기존의 음성 훈련과는 차별화된다. 가성대, 윤상연골, 연구개, AES, 앵커링 등 후두부와 성도의 수의적 조정 능력을 개발하는 것은 예술적 목표음 산출을 보다 용이하게 만드는 과학적 효율성을 가지며 배우가 직면하는 기능적 한계를 창조적으로 극복할 수 있는 기술적 방법론으로 활용될 수 있다. 음성 산출 요소 간의 조화와 협응을 위한 원리적 훈련인 에스틸 모델의 구조연습은 이미지와 추상성이 주류를 이루고 있는 국내의 배우 음성 교육에 대안적 훈련 모델로 활용될 수 있는 실용적 가치를 지닌다.
