The voice
Is an instinctive, complicated, process that people use every day as a form of communication; and have been for millions of years. In fact, 'the voice' can also be applied to the animal kingdom, as well. In simple terms, the voice is the movement of air (from the lungs) over vocal folds, up the trachea (windpipe) and out through the mouth- creating sound. It's the evolution and refining of those sounds is where we are, as humans, today. Within the animal kingdom defining what those sounds mean and how they're interpretted is another subject; although, I suppose you could apply that concept to the way some people speak, too.
Like a radio, anyone can “turn it on” anytime and anywhere, but only few know how it really works. To pierce the mystery of the voice, one needs to understand how it works – there's the power source, the vibratory source, and the amplification. |
