What is fundamental frequency?
This theory explains laryngeal behavior
What is the Aerodynamic Myolelastic theory?
When you were a child, how were the physiologic and acoustic aspects of your vowels different than they are now? (Plus 200 if the same team can get all three)
What is: higher fundamental frequency of vocal fold vibration, shorter vocal tract, and higher formants?
