SPEAKING IS OUR ABILITY TO FORM SOUNDS AND TO USE THEM TO COMMUNICATE IDEAS AND FEELINGS.
DIAPHRAGM IS THE DOME-SHAPED MUSCLE AT THE BASE OF YOUR LUNGS • TRACHEA IS ALSO CALLED YOUR WIND PIPE
LARYNX IS ALSO CALLED THE VOICE BOX • VOCAL CORDS ARE THE PRIMARY GENERATORS OF SOUND.
RESONANCE IS REINFORCEMENT PRODUCED BY VIBRATION • CAVITY IS A PARTIALLY ENCLOSED AREA
YOUR THROAT IS YOUR PHARYNGEALCAVITY • YOUR NOSE IS YOUR NASALCAVITY • YOUR MOUTH IS YOUR ORAL CAVITY
MAJOR ARTICULATORs OF SOUND IN THE MOUTH: • THE TONGUE • THE TEETH • THE LIPS • THE HARD & SOFT PALATE
ARTICULATION IS THE SHAPING OF SPEECH SOUNDS INTO RECOGNIZABLE ORAL SYMBOLS THAT GO TOGETHER TO MAKE A WORD
VOICED MEANS THE VOCAL CORDS ARE VIBRATING • VOICELESS MEANS THE VOCAL CHORDS ARE LEFT OPEN
PLOSIVES FORM A SMALL EXPLOSION WHEN YOU SAY THEM • FRICATIVES MAKE A FRICTION LIKE NOISE WHEN THEY ARE SPOKEN • NASALS ARE SOUNDS THAT RESONATE IN THE NASAL CAVITY • GLIDES ARE SOUNDS THAT RESULT FROM THE GLIDING MOVEMENT OF THE ARTICULATORS
PITCH IS THE HIGHNESS OR LOWNESS OF THE SOUND YOU MAKE • KEY IS THE AVERAGE PITCH AT WHICH YOU SPEAK
MELODY REFERS TO THE VARIATIONS IN PITCH THAT HELP TO GIVE EXPRESSION TO A PERSONS VOICE. • RANGE IS THE SPREAD BETWEEN THE LOWEST AND HIGHEST NOTES YOU CAN SPEAK COMFORTABLY
INFLECTION IS THE UPWARD OR DOWNWARD GLIDE OF YOUR PITCH AS YOU SPEAK • CIRCUMFLEX IS AN UP AND DOWN INFLECTION
STEP IS AN ABRUPT CHANGE IN PITCH • VOLUME IS ANOTHER NAME FOR LOUDNESS
RATE IS THE SPEED AT WHICH YOU TALK • QUALITY IS THE TONE OF YOUR VOICE
MOST COMMON QUALITY PROBLEMS: • NASALITY • BREATHINESS • HARSHNESS • HOARSENESS
