Your voice is primarily created by the larynx, also known as the voice box.
The Role of the Larynx
The larynx houses the vocal folds (also called vocal cords), which are essential for sound production.
- The vocal folds vibrate as air passes over them, generating the sound of your voice.
- The tension, length, and thickness of the vocal folds can be adjusted to change the pitch and tone of your voice.
- Without the larynx and the vocal folds, you would not be able to produce the sounds that make up your voice.
In summary, the larynx, and specifically the vocal folds within it, give you your voice.
