Abstract:	The parameterization of vocal cord dynamics may be useful in different fields of voice processing, as in speech synthesis, voice pathology detection, or speaker identification, among others. A technique to determine biomechanical cord parameters is presented to produce estimates of mass, stiffness and losses from the body and cover structures of the vocal cords. Results from a database of normophonic subjects are in good agreement with values used in cord modelling. This technique provides biometrical descriptors of speakers with use in different fields of application.
