Zusammenfassung

TLDRThe video explores how human voice and speech are produced. Voice is generated by air flowing from the lungs, causing the vocal folds within the larynx (voice box) to vibrate. The larynx is situated between the tongue base and the trachea. Speech, however, involves articulating these sounds into meaningful communication through complex muscle actions involving the head, throat, and other areas. Breathing is the foundational process, where the diaphragm helps the lungs take in and expel air. For voice, vocal folds build pressure to vibrate and create sound. Producing speech requires years of practice to develop the coordination needed to articulate words accurately. The video emphasizes the distinct processes of voice versus speech and their crucial everyday roles in communication.

    The video explains the uniqueness of human voice and its production through the lungs and vocal folds in the larynx, known as the voice box. It distinguishes between voice and speech, noting that voice is the basic sound produced, while speech involves complex movements to articulate sounds. It outlines the breathing process, essential for voice production, involving the diaphragm and lungs. Further, it describes how voice is generated by airflow from the lungs blowing the vocal folds apart, with the glottis playing a role in voice modulation. Speech is produced by coordinated muscle actions in the head, throat, and mouth, developing gradually in children.

Video-Fragen und Antworten

  • What is the primary organ for voice production?

    The larynx, also known as the voice box, is the primary organ for voice production.

  • What is the difference between voice and speech?

    Voice is a sound produced by the vibration of vocal folds, whereas speech involves the articulation of sounds to communicate thoughts and ideas.

  • How are vocal folds involved in voice production?

    Vocal folds vibrate when air from the lungs is forced through them, creating sound.

  • What role does the diaphragm play in breathing?

    The diaphragm contracts and expands to lift the rib cage, allowing the lungs to fill with air.

  • How does the larynx contribute to voice?

    The larynx regulates airflow and pressure to enable vocal fold vibration during voice production.

  • How is speech produced?

    Speech is produced by coordinated muscle actions in the head, throat, chest, mouth, nasal cavity, and abdomen.

  • What is required for loud speech production?

    The vocal folds and larynx must vibrate normally to produce loud speech.

  • What is the glottis?

    The glottis is the opening between the vocal folds that changes during breathing and voice production.

  • How do infants learn to speak?

    Speech development in infants is a gradual process that involves learning to coordinate muscles for understandable speech.

  • What website offers more information on voice and speech?

    More information on voice and speech can be found on the NIDCD website at www.nidcd.nih.gov.

    How does the human body produce voice and speech?
  • 00:00:07
    Every day many of us rely on voice and speech to communicate.
  • 00:00:11
    Let’s explore the processes of breathing, voicing, and speaking.

    What is voice?

    [BABY COOING]
  • 00:00:22
    Your voice is as unique as your fingerprint.
  • 00:00:24
    [MAN SINGING]
  • 00:00:27
    Voice, or vocalization, is the sound produced by humans and other vertebrates using the
  • 00:00:32
    lungs and the vocal folds in the larynx.
  • 00:00:35
    [WOMEN LAUGHING]
  • 00:00:36
    The larynx, sometimes called the voice box, is the primary organ of voice production.
  • 00:00:41
    [TODDLER LAUGHING]
  • 00:00:42
    Voice and speech are not the same, an infant crying or an adult laughing are examples of
  • 00:00:48
    vocalization or voice production.
  • 00:00:50
    [MAN LAUGHING]
  • 00:00:52
    What is speech?
  • 00:00:54
    People typically express thoughts, feelings, and ideas orally to one another through a
  • 00:00:59
    series of complex movements that alter the basic tone created by voice into specific,
  • 00:01:05
    identifiable sounds called speech.
  • 00:01:09
    Before we get into more detail about how voice and speech are produced, let’s explore how
  • 00:01:14
    we breathe.
  • 00:01:16
    The first step is taking air into the lungs.
  • 00:01:19
    The large dome shaped muscle called the diaphragm, which is located directly below the lungs,
  • 00:01:25
    contracts and expands vertically lifting the rib cage,
  • 00:01:29
    and allowing the lungs to fill with air.
  • 00:01:32
    After the lungs bring oxygen into the body,
  • 00:01:35
    they remove carbon dioxide through breathing out.
  • 00:01:39
    When breathing out, the diaphragm and ribcage return to their resting positions, forcing
  • 00:01:44
    the air out of the lungs.
  • 00:01:47
    How do we produce voice?
  • 00:01:50
    There are several parts of the body that play a role in voice production.
  • 00:01:54
    Vocal folds are two bands of tissue that are positioned opposite each other in the larynx.
  • 00:02:01
    The larynx is located between the base of the tongue and the top of the passageway to
  • 00:02:05
    the lungs, known as the trachea.
  • 00:02:08
    When you are not speaking, the vocal folds are open so that you can breathe.
  • 00:02:14
    Voice is generated by airflow from the lungs.
  • 00:02:16
    When it’s time to speak, the pressure below the larynx increases until it blows the vocal
  • 00:02:22
    folds apart.
  • 00:02:24
    [MAN: HELLO, HELLO]
  • 00:02:28
    The vocal folds are first forced apart at the bottom followed by the top, and air is
  • 00:02:33
    forced through the very narrow opening.
  • 00:02:36
    The opening between the vocal folds is called the glottis, which opens during breathing
  • 00:02:41
    and narrows during voice production.
  • 00:02:43
    The pressure forces the air through the vocal folds which creates a suction as we exhale.
  • 00:02:50
    This suction pulls the vocal folds together at the bottom, followed by the top.
  • 00:02:55
    When the air from the lungs blows past the vocal folds at a high speed,
  • 00:03:00
    the vocal folds vibrate.
  • 00:03:03
    In order to produce typical, loud speech, the vocal folds and larynx must vibrate normally.
  • 00:03:10
    How do we produce speech?
  • 00:03:14
    Speech is produced by precisely coordinated muscle actions in the head, throat, chest,
  • 00:03:20
    mouth, nasal cavity, and abdomen.
  • 00:03:24
    Speech development is a gradual process that requires years of practice.
  • 00:03:29
    During this process, a child learns how to regulate these muscles
  • 00:03:33
    to produce understandable speech. [TODDLER MAKING SPEECH SOUNDS]
  • 00:03:36
    Different parts of our nose and mouth are carefully positioned to create speech sounds.
  • 00:03:42
    We position the velum, tongue, jaw, and lips in reference to permanent parts of our vocal
  • 00:03:48
    tract, such as the roof of our mouth.
  • 00:03:52
    [MAN: HELLO, HELLO]
  • 00:03:56
    As you can see, the process of producing voice and speech is complex and plays an important
  • 00:04:02
    role in our daily life.
