Summary: There is no different other than size, when it comes to the laryngeal anatomy of males and females. But, no two people are a-like, and since we don't have physical access to our students voice boxes, it makes teaching that much more difficult. Earlier in the book, Oren mentioned a list of functions of the vocal folds and he finally presents it here. An important thing to not is that these functions are reflexive, which means your thoughts control them! (THINK. LET. TRUST.) This chapter is filled with pictures to help the reader see what is being described. I think if I tried to summaries what Oren said, I'd end up just rewriting it. So, suffice it to say that there are many parts that contribute to sound production. Another important thing to note is that they delicate, and need to be taken care of because we only have one set!
Key Terms: (pretty much all of the names listed.)
Key Concepts: Knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the larynx should help you to free your voice and allow it to grow in a natural manner.
Making Connections: I'm a visual person, so seeing the pictures in class was very helpful to me. But some of these parts were learned a while ago in class, so it was very helpful to get the refresher. He also presents them in a very concise manner, which is helpful for me as a future teacher. As I said in the last chapter, this knowledge has helped me more than I ever thought it would. I'm fascinated with how such small muscles do something so miraculous!!
