What’s wrong with human vocalization today?

•  Too much dull speaking (vocal texting)

•  Not enough primal sound-making (messages sent by melody, rhythm, timbre, roughness)

Baby cry versus lion roar •  The vocal fold tissue morphology of the great cats

resembles that of human infants – no ligament, muscle is far lateral and not in vibration

•  Both have low phonation pressure because medial surfaces of the vocal folds are quite parallel and vocal folds are thick

•  Tonality (periodicity) is not important for loud cries or roars

Vocalization for general body health

•  Why is the thyroid gland on top of the larynx ?

•  Why is the pituitary gland near the sphenoid cavity, very near the vocal tract ?

•  Does self-induced vibration in our body promote healing and general health ?

narrowing (semi-occluding)

some part of the vocal tract – it
