chest tone

Another time when she called Dunyasha her voice trembled, so she called again- though she could hear Dunyasha coming- called her in the deep chest tones in which she had been wont to sing, sing, and listened attentively to herself.

When an exaggerated chest tone is pushed beyond its natural limits, the tone will usually sound strained, underpitched, and short of high-range potential.

She spun out breathtaking pianissimo notes, dazzling runs of ornamentation, dark chest tones throbbing with emotional force.
