Semi-occlusion of the vocal tract with a thin straw provides some advantages for assessing the physiological ranges of intensity and fundamental frequency in a voice. Signals can be obtained without concern about room noise, mouth-to-microphone distance, or vocal injury caused by excessive loudness produced by a patient or client. We show that differences between loud and soft phonation into the straw are clearly measureable and reflect the soft-loud differences measured from airborne sound radiating from an open mouth. Using this technique to acquire a traditional voice range profile, the range of fundamental frequency is not limited and risk for injury seems to be less than for traditional methods. In the lower portion of the fundamental frequency range, the steady pressures measured at the mouth constitute a range profile for subglottal (lung) pressure.
