If you are thinking about "overtone singing" ("chant diphonique" in
French), it's not about the two vocal cords at different frequency, but
about the choice of harmonic in the resonators (mouth/... )
You do not control the "frequency" of the vocal cords, only their/its
tension. The vocal cords are like the hands in the old koan:
Two hands clap and there is a sound. What is the sound of one hand?
