Vocal fry (pulse register) defined by Zemlin: Glottal fry may be produced by
attempting to phonate quietly at the lowest possible pitch, so that the sound
feels as if it is bubbling out of the larynx in discrete bursts. Indeed,
that seems to be precisely what is happening..... air seem to simply bubble
at about the junction of the anterior two-thirds of the cords (p. 169).
