<< There's a Brazilian singer called Elsa ( Elza? ) Soares who lived in NYC
for
some time with a very well-succeeded show due to her 'different' voice. She
could distort her voice and go back to a smoother, normal one at will and
with no bad effect on it. ACCORDING TO HER, her doctor decided to see what
was going on in there. When he looked inside he saw she had 2 pairs of vocal
cords: one of them did the disrtortion while the other one did the rest. >>

she sounds like a female louis armstrong. what the doctor was telling
her was that she was getting her vestibular folds ('false vocal cords')
involved. (sounds like she'd be pretty good at that game 'telephone'.)
