Our ability to make a sound depends mainly on what is in our throat

The most important vocal organs in the human body are the vocal cords, which are two band-like muscles located inside the throat. Located in the middle of the laryngeal airway, the two vocal cords are at rest when there is no sound, and when the breath in the respiratory tract passes by, the two vocal cords are in a state of vibration (like air trying to escape from a balloon that is pinched at the port, and when the gas passes, the vocal cords vibrate to produce sound). Generally speaking, the faster the vibration frequency, the higher the sound, and the slower the vibration frequency, the lower the sound.

It is precisely because of the difference in the length, thickness, width and shape of each person's vocal cords, and the different voices, timbres, and vocal areas are also different, so there are male and female sopranos, male and female mezzones, and male and female basses.

The vocalizations of singing are not exactly the same as those of speech. It is inaccurate to equate the vocalization of singing with "singing as you speak" or "speaking with a loud voice", which will make the singing colorless and do not meet the vocal requirements of the first grade. The pronunciation of speech cannot meet the needs of singing, so we must pay attention to the vocal method in order to train the ordinary voice into a good voice that can produce beautiful sound, full of personality, scientific, fashionable and infectious.

The real vocal cords are very small, they are like the size of a coin when they are stretched openly, and all the voices we produce depend on it, so the vocal cords are also very fragile, and the physiological characteristics of the human body determine that the singer must treat and maintain his vocal cords in time. If you are eager to work the road of singing and maintain a stable or even excellent state for a long time, then you can only do it through scientific singing methods and systematic training of the vocal cords before and after class.

Which are the organs that sing and make sounds.

The vocal cords are located in the middle of the larynx and are composed of two symmetrical white ligaments on the left and right, which are horizontal and elastic. The middle of the vocal cords, also known as the glottis, separates the vocal cords to the sides during inhalation, opens the glottis to inhale breath, and the vocal cords close to produce sound during vocalization. When the vocal cords are not vocalizing, they are relaxed and opened in order to allow the breath to pass smoothly, and the vocal cords are the driving force of the breath, with the assistance of the vocal cords themselves and the muscles around the vocal cords.

Between the upper part of the throat and the base of the tongue, there is an important cartilage called the epiglottis, the role of the epiglottis has two aspects, one is to play the protective role of the glottis, when we swallow food and drink, it will instinctively cover the trachea, allowing food or water to enter the esophagus and avoid entering the trachea; The second function is that when singing, the epiglottis is erected to form a channel for the voice to pass smoothly.

Our ability to produce sound is mainly produced by the vibration of the vocal cords in the throat.

The fact that we are able to make a sound depends mainly on what is in the throat, and the sound that we can make is definitely mainly dependent on the vocal cords in the throat of our voice.
