HOW VOICE IS PRODUCED?

Speaking is our ability to form sounds and to use them to

communicate abstract ideas and feelings. We do not have a

specialized system in the same was that we have our digestive

and respiratory system.

To produce speech, the lungs, the mouth and the throat and other part of the body coordinate to

generate sound, resonate sound and articulate sound.

The primary generators of soud are the vocal cords which are the muscles that make up the larynx. Sound is generated by pushing out air in such a way that the

vocal cords vibrate.

The respiration cycle consisting of the inhalation and exhalation of air from the lungs plays a part

in generating speech.

Before sound produced by exhaling air can be speech, it must be given resonance or reinforcement produced by

vibration.

The resonators of sound of speech are:

--the bones in the chest, neck, and head

-- the cavities of the throat, nose and mouth

Most resonance occurs in the cavity.

A cavity is a partially enclosed area. Every cavity has a natural range of sounds depending on:

--size--shape

--texture of its composition--the size pf its opening

TYPES OF CAVITY

1.PHARYNGEAL CAVITY (THROAT)

2.NASAL CAVITY (NOSE)3.ORAL CAVITY (MOUTH)

ARTICULATION

It is the shaping of speech sounds into recognizable oral symbols that go together to make up a

word. Most communication. Most communication problems are caused by poor articulation

MAJOR ARTICULATORS OF SOUND IN THE MOUTH

1. The tongue2. The hard and soft palates

3. The teeth4. The lips
