INHALATION

1. brain sending a message to the body to take in air

2. the body tries to control & equalize pressure between the outside and inside

how to control sound: DIAPHRAMIC BREATHING

-building diaphragmic muscles helps control the quality/sound of your voice

3. the diaphragm contracts (shrinks) and moves downward

4.musceles control the ribs, pulling them outward

creates a vacuum in the Thoracic cavity so the air rushes in through the nose and/or mouth, down the trachea, then into the bronchial tubes, that fills the lungs w/ air

• everyone has the same breathing parts and anatomy

EXHALATION

1. the diaphragm relaxes and moves upwards

2. the muscles controlling the ribs relax, allowing the ribs to go inward

   -this puts pressure on the air in the lungs which forces the air into the bronchial tubes, up the trachea, then out the nose/mouth

3. VOICE PRODUCTION

4. air hits the vocal folds in the larynx, commonly known as the voice box

   1.this creates vibrations in the air(sound) which needs to bounce around in order to be amplified and resonate

   the sound bounces around the resonators

   • sinus cavity

   • nasal cavity

   • oral cavity

   • pharyngeal cavity

   • thoracic cavity

5. words are able to be created by use of the articulators

   • lips

   • teeth

   • tongue

   • jaw

   • hard palate

   • soft palate
