Voice formation (also known as phonation) is the process of voice formation and change that occurs in the human vocal apparatus. This is an important aspect of communication, since the voice is one of the main means of expressing emotions, thoughts and feelings.
Voice formation begins with the formation of sounds in the larynx, which are then transmitted along the vocal cords into the mouth and then out through the glottis. During the process of vocal production, the vocal cords vibrate, creating sound waves that are perceived as sounds.
It is important to understand that voice production can be impaired due to various diseases, such as aphonia (lack of voice), dysphonia (voice disorder) or vocal cord paralysis. Voice production may also change due to stress, fatigue, smoking or drinking alcohol.
Additionally, voice production can vary from person to person depending on their age, gender, race, nationality, and other factors. For example, women's voice production may differ from men's due to anatomical and physiological differences.
The study of voice production is important for understanding and improving communication in everyday life and in professional activities. It can also help people with voice disorders or communication problems improve their communication skills.
