COMD Module 5Phonation the production of sound as the vocal fold vibrates; Reptiles, amphibians, and mammals all have a larynx to produce voice. Animal sounds are excellent examples of voice as a distinct element of speech as they do not have sophisticated articulation or resonance as humans do. There are 3 primary components to voice: The generator: the breath stream from the lungs The vibrator: the vibration of the vocal folds as the breath stream passes through closed vocal folds ...
