Ive came across the video of laryngoscope showing the vocal folds and the muscles around when performing the "Thyroid Tilt Manouver"

 

 

Really interesting to see how the light sound is produced by the person getting the scoping and the vocal folds are vibrating nicely.

 

 

Is the thyroid tilt what actually puts us in a twang vocal mode?

Your video isn't showing?

 

Thyroid tilt is one of the primary physical movements that contributes to the physical mode, twang. Some argue that it is actually cricoid tilt. The cricoid sits below the thyroid, potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes... it doesn't really matter which, but it contributes. Don't assume its the only thing that is creating twang, there are other elements and muscles involved as well, but the general explanation is some kind of Laryngeal tilt, yes. 

 

Here is one of the graphics from "The Four Pillars of Singing"... also shows the epiglottic funnel. A great visual for twang.

I can see it just fine :/

 

And yea thats what i tought. I know its not the only aspect of it. but it was quite interesting to see it like that on camera. Kinda gives you mental image of what is happening and how it should "feel".

Elvis, actually the video shows the singer letting go of twang, and the sound gets softer because of that.

On the first time he does it, notice how when the sound is more intense the "back" of the larynx is closer to the front. That "narrowing" is what produces it.

Actually thats how i percieved it. I got confused when i read your comment. But i got it that way yea. The onset is where tilt is happening and the the singer releases it.
