Resonating Parts

1. THE RESONATING PARTS

2. RESONATING PARTS Vocal resonance  is the process by which the basic product of phonation is enhanced in timbre and/or intensity by the air-filled cavities through which it passes on its way to the outside air.

3. RESONATING PARTS Speech can be defined as waves of air pressure created by airflow pressed out of the lungs and going out through the mouth and nasal cavities. The air passes through the vocal folds (chords) via the path from the lungs through the vocal tract, vibrating them at different frequencies.

4. The resonating parts of the body are composed of the following: 1. The Mouth 2. The Jaw 3. The Uvula 4. The Nasal Cavity

5. THE MOUTH

6. THE MOUTH The mouth consists of two regions, the vestibule and the oral cavity proper. The mouth, normally moist, is lined with a mucous membrane, and contains the teeth. The lips mark the transition from mucous membrane to skin, which covers most of the body.

7. THE MOUTH The mouth plays a vital part in speech, because alterations in the shape of the mouth and the lips modify the sounds that are made by the vocal folds (vocal cords) in such a way that they become recognizable as syllables. 

8. THE JAW

9. THE JAW Jaw stability is the foundation for speech production and feeding management. Movements or skill levels of the jaw are related to feeding quality and speech clarity. Diagnostic terms used to understand the jaw and its role in feeding and speech are dissociation/differentiation, grading/control and fixing/association.

10. THE JAW Grading, or the controlled segmentation of movement, is based on dissociation and requires maturation and stability within the targeted muscle group or given articulator. This more refined skill relies on the ability to dissociate for subsequent controlled movements of one or more articulators or muscle groups.

11. THE JAW Developing adequate stability in one or more articulators enables a child to dissociate or differentiate movement for more complex and refined oral gestures. Grading is necessary in speech to move from one jaw height to several others fluidly, without losing stability to allow reliant articulators such as the tongue and lips to move independently.

12. THE UVULA

13. THE UVULA The  palatine uvula , usually referred to as simply the  uvula  is a conic projection from the posterior edge of the middle of the soft palate, composed of connective tissue containing a number of  racemose glands, and some muscular fibers ( musculus uvulae ). It is used to articulate a range of consonant sounds, known as uvular consonants.

14. THE UVULA Uvula plays a vital role in the articulation of speech and deglutition, which refers to the process of swallowing. It also secretes large amounts of thin saliva that contains serous and mucous components, thereby lubricating the back of the throat. Some singers claim that the uvula helps them produce vibrato, which is the pulsating effect in singing that is produced by making variations in the pitch.

15. THE NASAL CAVITY

16. THE NASAL CAVITY The  nasal cavity  (or  nasal fossa ) is a large air filled space above and behind the nose in the middle of the face. Each cavity is the continuation of one of the two nostrils.

17. THE NASAL CAVITY The  nose  and the  nasal cavity are a very important part of our equipment for making sounds (what is sometimes called our  vocal apparatus ), particularly nasal consonants such as  m , n .
