Module 5: Speaking
All of these parts of your mouth and throat, including your tongue, lips, and teeth, work together to modulate the sound waves that emanate from your throat. Without these parts, we would only be able to make a one-toned indistinguishable noise rather than complex and recognizable speech.
How do we make sounds?
Essentially, the sounds that we make are just puffs of air traveling through our throats and out of our mouths. The sounds that these puffs of air make depend upon all the parts listed above and how they block or change the air as it passes through. To illustrate this process, think about the sound that would be made if you blew air through a tube. Now think of the sounds you can make if you blow air through a flute, which blocks and moves the air in specific ways. This is pretty much how your voice works.
