Vocal Production One of Three Acting Tools How You Communicate
What Those Part Do…. • Larynx-located in throat, called voice box • Trachea-carries air, called windpipe • Diaphragm-muscle at base of lungs • Articulators-hard & soft palate, jaw, tongue, lips and teeth • Vocal cords-muscles that control air flow, not cords, but muscles, close when swallow food and drink
Features of Your Voice • Rate-speed of delivery • Pitch-highness or lowness of sound • Volume-loudness, intensity of sound • Inflection-upward or downward glide (upward glide=?, downward glide=certainty) • Articulation-shaping of sounds into words • Pronunciation-grouping and accenting of these sounds (45 in English Language, 20 are vowel sounds)
Voiced and Voiceless Sounds • Voiced means vocal cords are vibrating when the sound is being made • Say view (voiced, notice vibration) • Voiceless means that vocal cords are held open and air does not vibrate them • Say few (voiceless, no vibration)
