SO: v1 (Second Timers)

AUDIBLE VIBES:    Sounds are simply vibrations. The higher a note is, the slower a vibration will be.  The lower the note is the faster the vibrations will be.

AUDIBLE VIBES: All sounds are just vibrations. The source of the sound vibrates the molecules around it. Those molecules vibrate other molecules around them. Eventually this vibration vibrates your eardrum. (NOTE: DON’T GET HUNG UP ON THE WORD MOLECULES OR ATOMS HERE. The air you breathe is molecules, largely N2, O2 and CO2, but the molecules are made of atoms.)

AUDIBLE VIBES:   When you hear a voice on a video, you aren’t hearing the sound from the person’s vocal cords, but rather the vibrations from the speakers from your computer or television.  Speakers are often just a type of paper that is vibrated just right to replicate any sound imaginable.  If you were able to, you could vibrate any material and it would replicate any sound. 

CREATING A VOICE: Voice making starts with the star of the show, your extremely complicated vocal cords located in the pharynx. The vocal cords are layered like a sandwich. Each of the 30 layers is woven uniquely with different amounts of stronger-than-steel collagen proteins and super-springy elastin proteins.

CREATING A VOICE:   Maintaining exact water levels in the cords is crucial. The thin jelly-like “Reinke’s space” in the cords is very loose like liquid yogurt and full of free-floating proteins  These proteins keep the right amount of water in the cords so they’ll vibrate just right and make you sound like you! 

CREATING A VOICE: The highly-sophisticated weaving in each of the three layers of your vocal cords causes the cords to vibrate in a strange way. They hit their tips first then the rest of the cord.

CREATING A VOICE:   Resonance and timbre are added to the sound waves as they travel through the nasal receptors of the throat which your brain can shape differently according to your desired sounds.

CREATING A VOICE:   The sound waves coming from your larynx also get the walls of your throat vibrating which further adds to the sound quality of your voice. 

CREATING A VOICE: The vibrations from your vocal cords are made even more complex again as they interact with the cave that the mouth forms, the bones of your face and the eighty sinus caves in your skull.

CREATING A VOICE:   The big frontal sinuses in the forehead and the bigger maxillary sinuses in the cheeks especially give your voice even more timber and resonance.
