How is the human voice produced?

Answer 1

I dont have the exact answer but it is to do with the muscles in the neck and the vocal cords. The tighter the vocal cords the higher the pitch of voice.. I wonder if this is partly also contributed to by testosterone in males that may explain why the voice of males is lower to womens. Look through some anatomy text it should help.

When you want to speak, you breathe out, and the breath travels upwards to your larynx, located in the throat (in the area behind the 'Adam's apple'). When you're not speaking the air passes through without any obstruction. But when you speak, the vocal cords are brought close together by tiny muscles in the larynx.

When the air hits these vocal folds it makes them vibrate. At this stage, the 'voice' is just a buzz, which is then amplified by the resonating cavities in your mouth and upper throat. This sound is further enhanced by vibration in the bones of your skull and other parts of the body (this is why, if you are ill with a head cold or a sore throat, your voice often sounds different than usual).

The sound is shaped into words by your 'articulators' - things like the tongue, lips and soft palate, the shape,size and motion of which create your own unique voice.

from their voice box or larynx. it is made by sound waves clashing together that gives it that beautiful sound.
