Overtone Singing

r/overtonesinging

Overtone singing is a type of singing in which the singer manipulates the shape of the resonant cavities of the mouth, larynx, and pharynx to create apparently more than one pitch at the same time - the fundamental from the vocal cords, and a selected overtone from the mouth, larynx, and pharynx.
