Inside Steve Sklar's Larynx: Kargyraa

Endoscopic video examination of my larynx while singing Tuvan kargyraa style.

Things to notice: the constriction of the vestibule of the larynx; compare this to the more open area around and at the vocal folds when I stop singing, and when I speak in normal voice. Also, you can see the two levels of kargyraa phonation: at the level of the vocal folds (lower, and partially occluded, and the ventricular folds, which are vibrating ABOVE the vocal folds. The ventricular folds are the source of the low tones, NOT something low in the neck as claimed by others here at YouTube.

Ever wonder how videos of the inside of the larynx are made? See this video about fibroscopy, used to make endoscopic videos: http://khoomei.com/videos/fibroscopy.mov

Kids, don't try this at home!!!

im not too sure there the larynx is located? is it near the lungs or in your neck? does food go down the larynx if its part of the neck?

[Throatsinger]

Front of throat, also known as the Adam's apple. Food is diverted by the epiglottis down the esophagus, which is behind the larynx and trachea.

This is wonderful, in Egypt some fruit and vegetable sellers chant this way to attract customers

I've always wondered what it looked like inside when I was doing Kargyraa style.

Oh, the curiosity of the mind! Great upload.
