What Are Your Resonators

The parts of the body that can vibrate in harmony with the voice are often called Resonators. Extending from your larynx to your lips, the air column vibrates at a natural frequency – in much the same way that the pipes of an organ do. As you shorten the organ pipe, and thus the air column, the pitch gets higher.

What are the 4 resonators in speech?

Resonance: Voiced sound is amplified and modified by the vocal tract resonators (the throat, mouth cavity, and nasal passages). … Articulation: The vocal tract articulators (the tongue, soft palate, and lips) modify the voiced sound. The articulators produce recognizable words.

Is the chest a resonator?
