A pressed voice is produced with constricted glottis and it corresponds to a small OQ.
Lower open quotient and closing quotient are related to breathy voice, and higher closing quotient is related to pressed voice [37].
OQ is of considerable interest as it has been reported to be related to voice quality such as "breathy" and "pressed" voices [6, 7].
Other strategies such as raising the pitch, or using other voice qualities (like pressed voices) could express the same attitudes or emotions expressed by breathiness.
This usage of breathiness seems to have similar effects with pressed voices (which are characterized by a hyperclosure of the vocal folds), as reported in [23].
While the exertion level change is positive for almost all of the speakers, the voice quality changes are significantly different across speakers, with some trends toward pressed voicing, with others toward soft voicing.
In Alku et al. [66] and Drugman et al. [40], shifts greater than about 1 were associated with known changes in voice quality, such as soft or pressed voicing.
It was observed in Alku et al. [66] and Drugman et al. [40] that known behavioral changes such as soft voicing or pressed voicing resulted in changes for NAQ which were greater than about 0.01.
"All of these legal representatives who should have access to their client have been barred from access, along with the family members," said a press representative for the Voice Project, which has been advocating on behalf of Pussy Riot and managing its support fund.
Amplification gave Daisy Press's voice an eerie resonance in David Handler's "Liadan's Lament," with Orlando Alonso on harpsichord.
For example, if you want something that has no bar code, like fresh fruit, you can press a Voice Reminder button and simply speak it: "Six green bananas".
