The first of a series of downloadable videos shows a healthy larynx speaking and singing five vowels. The video includes an introduction identifying the various structures in the larynx, and the viewer can rewind or pause at any point.

This downloadable video shows healthy male and female larynges flipping between a modal (speech) set and a falsetto set. This video includes both endoscopic and stroboscopic footage of the vocal folds in close-up, clearly displaying the different movements in each mode.

The most requested topic, this downloadable video ebook shows the subject separating the movements of the true and false vocal folds in both silent breathing and phonation. This video includes both endoscopic and stroboscopic footage of the vocal folds in close-up.

This downloadable video shows close-up stroboscopic footage of a healthy male voice moving between breathy and non-breathy vocal sets. The video includes views of the back of the vocal folds opening and closing on a sustained pitch.

This downloadable video shows close-up oral and nasal endoscopic footage of a healthy male voice holding a sung pitch and moving the larynx up and down. The tuning and quality of the sound changes markedly as the vocal tract is lengthened and shortened, demonstrating that vocal tract alterations can be used to adjust 'tuning' even if the pitch is held constant.

This downloadable video shows the soft palate in action, raising to close (oral vowel) and dropping to open (nasal vowel). The subject then separates the actions of twang and nasality, holding a nasal vowel while adding and subtracting twang from the sound. Finally, the twanged vowel moves from nasal to oral, demonstrating fine control of two separate vocal mechanisms.
