| Voice Production: (Role of sinuses, vocal cords; changing pitch, amplitude. |
|
Definition
| Speech involves the intermittent release of expired air and the opening and closing of the glottis. The vocal chords tense and the tenser the cords, the faster they vibrate and the higher the pitch. Loudness depends on the force with which the airstream rushes across the vocal cords. The vocal cords do not move when we whisper but vibrate vigorously when we yell. The power source for the airstream comes from muscles in the chest, abdomen, and back. The pharnyx acts as a resonating chamber to amplify and enhance sound. The oral, nasal, and sinus cavities also contribute to voice resonance . |
