How do you loose your voice?
Thehuman voice consists of sound made by a human being using the vocal folds for talking, singing, laughing, crying, screaming, etc. Human voice is specifically that part of human sound production in which the vocal folds (vocal cords) are the primary sound source. Generally speaking, the mechanism for generating the human voice can be subdivided into three parts; the lungs, the vocal folds within the larynx, and the articulators. The lung (the pump) must produce adequate airflow and air pressure to vibrate vocal folds (this air pressure is the fuel of the voice). The vocal folds (vocal cords) are a vibrating valve that chops up the airflow from the lungs into audible pulses that form the laryngeal sound source. The muscles of the larynx adjust the length and tension of the vocal folds to 'fine tune' pitch and tone. The articulators (the parts of the vocal tract above the larynx consisting of tongue, palate, cheek, lips, etc.) articulate and filter the sound emanating from the larynx and to some degree can interact with the laryngeal airflow to strengthen it or weaken it as a sound source.The vocal folds, in combination with the articulators, are capable of producing highly intricate arrays of sound.[1][2][3] The tone of voice may be modulated to suggest emotionssuch as anger, surprise, orhappiness.[4][5] Singers use thehuman voice as an instrument for creatingmusic.[6]
What is glottal closure?
Glottal closure is the act of the vocal folds contracting and approximating to close over the glottis to ensure foreign bodies do not enter the trachea. This can be compromised by growths on the vocal folds (such as nodules) as well as by neurological damage to the nerves supplying the vocal folds.
Where vocal folds are located?
Your vocal folds (also called the ventricular folds) are toward the top of your larynyx, protecting your vocal chords. These folds help prevent you from breathing in solids. A very interesting effect is produced when you sing and you get these folds to vibrate. They will vibrate at half the speed of your vocal chords, and produce a sound an octave lower than the note you are singing with your vocal chords. This sounds much like a foghorn or a prolonged burp. The people most noted for producing this effect, theTuvans, call this effect kargyraa.
