First a warning. This could possibly ick you out. So if you consider yourself leaning towards the sensitive side of the Gross Scale skip it.
Glottal Opera is a literal look at what the vocal folds are doing while singing. The short film was directed by John Fink and produced by Deborah Szapiro It stars the vocal chords of Australian A’cappella/Alternative group Kaya–Juleiaah Boehm, Emma Deans, Alexi Kaye, and Sally Stevens—as they sing about the joys of kissing in the springtime with a tiny camera threaded through their noses and peering at their throats.
Enjoy!

You are so cool! I love fascinating esoterica. You should see my bookcase! My kids crack up over some of my weird finds, though. I think, so far, the theory of spontaneous human combustion, in the book Final Exits, has been the most memorable quirky fact that I’ve filed away. Or is it how to entice a tapeworm out of its host in The Woman With The Worm In Her Head? Suffice it to say, my sister asked me to compile a non-fiction reading list for her AP Biology students because she knew my rather eclectic tastes. 🙂
On a more serious note, this is a truly interesting video. A longtime sportscaster on a local TV station had to take an extended leave from work to learn how to re-speak. Years of his signature long-running commentaries, without pausing to breathe at reasonable intervals, had strained his vocal cords to the point of losing his voice and his job! Science is so cool. Correction: LEARNING is so cool!
COOL!
That’s COOL!
Ha ha,,,thanks Jamie! I have always leaned towards the “eclectic side” myself so it is nice to met a like soul!
I was absolutely fascinated with things like spontaneous human combustion as a kid. Couldn’t read enough about the bizarre and strange. I would have much rather curled up with a Time Life book of curious and unusual facts then almost anything else in the world.
Gotta agree with you learning is cool! I would be a professional student if I could afford to be 🙂
