The human voice! Some people, of course, are better singers than others, but everyone can try. The human voice makes sound when breath is pushed past the vocal cords, making them shake. That shaking is called vibrating and, as we all know, sounds are heard when air vibrates!
Play those cords!
Your vocal cords are in a special place in your throat called the larynx. When you are silent, the cords are loose and relaxed like the rubber bands in diagram A. But when you speak, they tighten up like the rubber bands in diagram B.
Can you hear me at the back?
Trained singers can make their voices heard at the back of a concert hall -even over the sound of a full orchestra.
