Inspiratory or reverse phonation refers to the production of voice when air is inhaled from the mouth and nostrils into the lungs. This way of phonation occurs naturally during laughter, sighs, and crying [1]. It has also been used to achieve special vocal effects by singers, shamans, and ventriloquists, and is common in the vocalizations of other mammals and birds. Furthermore, it is a useful treatment exercise in voice therapy for several voice disorders [2]. However, despite its relevance, few physical studies of inspiratory phonation have been conducted, and its underlying physics still needs further clarification.
