Muscles controlling pitch<br />
Pitch<br />
<strong>The</strong> cricothyroid muscle is the main muscle responsible for pitch<br />
adjustments. It connects the cricoid cartilage to the thyroid cartilage.<br />
It elongates the vocal folds through a contraction which pulls the<br />
cricoid and thyroid cartilages together while the vocal folds are held in<br />
place at the posterior end <strong>of</strong> the cricoid cartilage.<br />
