Speech and communication are important parts of our everyday lives, whether to express ourselves or to exchange information with others around us. Speaking is a complicated procedure that requires the usage of a variety of different components to be successful. It is a process in which the voice, or laryngeal tone, is adjusted by dampening certain frequency components while increasing others, which is known as resonance. These alterations affect the pharynx, oral cavity, and nasal cavity, among other areas of the body. A unique and understandable stream of speech is produced via the process of articulation.
In this chapter, I have learned the following vital things:
It is important to take care of our voice because there are a lot of possible impairments that may harm our voice.
The process of voice production is complicated.
It is not as simple as simply asking your brain to command your vocal cords to work. It takes a much more complicated process.
The main concept that I have learned is exhaling air from the lungs causes the vocal folds to vibrate as air flows past them, resulting in the production of sound. The sound wave that comes out of your mouth is generated by this vibration. The vocal folds must vibrate symmetrically and frequently in order to produce a clear and distinct sound.
As future speech-language pathologists, it is essential to be adept in this topic since we will be encountering clients with problems in their speech production. These clients may have hoarse voice, breathy voice, or other types of voice. Thus, we should learn how to diagnose and treat them, and the fundamental step in assessing these is by understanding the anatomy and physiology of the structures involved in speech production.
