coup de glotte
coup de glotte (Fr.). Blow of the glottis. In v. prod., a method, thought by many to be harmful, of attacking a note by closing the false vocal cords (2 membranes above the true vocal cords) and quickly opening them to release the tone. If the release is too abrupt, a cough will be the result.
