What is a way a person can speak?

Speech is created by forcing air over the vocal cords. The vibrations of the vocal cords causes sound waves that are modulated by the position of the lips and tongue to produce audible sound that issues from the mouth. Over time, these sounds have been formed into the many languages we hear round the world today.

How does vocal cords produce sound?

Larynx & Vocal Cords, The Larynx is more commonly called the VOICE BOX. It sits superior to and is continuous with the TRACHEA or WIND PIPE.

Does being over tired stress vocal cords?

Being overtired itself doesnt stress the vocal folds (cords). However, general stress (which being over tired can relate to) can effect use of the vocal folds and how stressed they are. Every day usage damages the vocal folds and this daily damage from vibration is repaired primarily while sleeping. So, lack of sleep will reduce the repair time as well as reduce the body's efficiency in repairing damage. see www.ncvs.org for more info like this.

How does the larynx make sound?

When air from the lungs is passed over the vocal cords inside the larynx, they vibrate. This makes a sound. The vocal cords are tightened or relaxed to change their length. This changes the speed of vibration which alters the pitch. If only the larynx is involved, the sound comes out as a dull 'aaah' in varying pitch. No recognisable words can be formed without the use of the lips, teeth, tongue and palate. This is why people with serious facial injuries or with many teeth missing often have trouble speaking or being understood.


What element makes your voice go really high?

vocal chords are not elements Inhaling helium (because of its lightness and density compared to air) does just that. Because helium, being lighter and less dense than (mostly nitrogen) air which is normally exhaled over the vocal cords, offers less resistance to the movement of the vocal cords, the cords are then able (with the same degree of tension as is imparted by ordinary conscious effort) to vibrate more rapidly, this creating higher sound frequencies than intended.
