Vocal Loading - Voice Organ

Voice Organ

Voiced speech is produced by air streaming from the lungs through the vocal cords, setting them into an oscillating movement. In every oscillation, the vocal folds are closed for a short period of time. When the folds reopen the pressure under the folds is released. These changes in pressure form the waves called (voiced) speech.

Famous quotes containing the words voice and/or organ:

    I
    Am found.
    O let him
    Scald me and drown
    Me in his world’s wound.
    His lightning answers my
    Cry. My voice burns in his hand.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    And this mighty master of the organ of language, who knew its every stop and pipe, who could awaken at will the thin silver tones of its slenderest reeds or the solemn cadence of its deepest thunder, who could make it sing like a flute or roar like a cataract, he was born into a country without literature.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)
