Budding performers in the US will be hoping a peculiar back-to-school exam will help them be on song this year.

A special camera allowed theatre students at a college in Seattle to see their vocal chords as they sang.

The camera, a stroboscope, emits light pulses slow enough to capture the vocal chords moving.
