Insufficient Thickness

In the low range the vocal folds are too thin and lack mass, making the voice thin and weak.

In a Nutshell

In the low range the vocal folds are too thin and lack mass, making the voice thin and weak.

How to Identify

In the low range (roughly F0 < 250Hz), watch the H1-H2 chart. If H1-H2 is elevated (> 8dB), the folds are too thin in the low range — insufficient contraction (TA).

Why Does This Happen?

CauseDescription
Insufficient TA activationThe thyroarytenoid doesn't contract enough to maintain fold mass
Habitual head/falsettoSinging the low range with a thin configuration
Fold conditionNaturally thin folds lacking chest-voice mass

How to Improve

  • Gug arpeggios: the "g" onset helps closure while keeping mass in the chest range
  • Low-range glides: practice keeping thickness and weight in the low range
  • Heavier vowels (O/A): open vowels add fold mass in the low range
