Hi Marthea,
Yep, it was me who said about sticking the tongue out as a vocal fold tester for starters.
Scatchiness is a hard one!!! It could be any manner of things, but one thing I've found in general, is the glands that supply mucous to the folds are slightly disfunctional. Steam inhalation might rid the problem. Or it could be the student is shoving too much air throught the folds which drys them rapidly and causes a scratchy sound.
That's all for the moment, I'll put my thinking cap on!
Best wishes, and how lovely to have a technique posting!!!
