Intro to the Vocal chords
How it Works:
1. Air comes out of the lungs, through the trachea, and into the larynx. 2. The air makes the vocal folds vibrate. 3. When the vocal folds vibrate, they alternately trap air and release it. 4. Each release sends a little puff of air into the pharynx; each puff of air is the beginning of a sound wave 5. The sound wave is enhanced as it travels through the pharynx; by the time it leaves the mouth, it sounds like a voice |
