Across
- 2. / The part of the larynx consisting of the vocal cords and the slitlike opening between them. It affects voice modulation through expansion or contraction.
- 4. / Activated when pressing your hand against the front of your head or the back of your head.
- 6. / Used for intense singing or phonation, belting especially, this is activated by mimicking holding suitcases, holding melons under your arms, or putting on a swim cap.
- 7. / We do this breath everyday all the time.
- 9. / Two small, elongated pieces of yellow elastic cartilage, placed one on either side, in the aryepiglottic fold.
- 11. / The flappy flap that stops you from the choky choke.
- 14. / the primary resonator for vocal sounds. Vowels tend to be most closely associated with this space. It is defined as the Pharyngeal space behind the mouth from the Epiglottis to the Soft Palate. It exists mostly behind the Tongue and is defined almost completely by soft tissue.
- 15. / Breathing Tube of joy.
- 16. / provides attachment to the muscles of the floor of the mouth and the tongue above, the larynx below, and the epiglottis and pharynx behind.
- 18. / When You're larynx rises, your vocal chords get _____________.
- 19. / The vocal chords place of residence.
- 21. / This breath is used for high air pressure belt, pop, and rock sounds.
- 23. / The first space that the Larynx opens into Resonator behind the larynx and can be changed with the lifting and lowering of the larynx.
- 24. / How much of a certain technique is needed.
Down
- 1. / They Allow the vocal folds to be tensed, relaxed, or approximated. They articulate with the supero-lateral parts of the cricoid cartilage lamina, forming the cricoarytenoid joints at which they can come together, move apart, tilt anteriorly or posteriorly, and rotate.
- 3. / When your larynx lowers, your vocal chords get ______________.
- 5. / an apparatus that increases the resonance of a sound, especially a hollow part of a musical instrument.
- 8. / On these, the edges of can be made to tense and relax by the passage of air from the lungs, thus producing vocal sound.
- 10. / provide attachments for the cricothyroid muscle, posterior cricoarytenoid muscle and lateral cricoarytenoid muscle muscles, cartilages, and ligaments involved in opening and closing the airway and in speech production.
- 12. / Flaring the nostrils to engage muscles behind the soft palate to aid in high larynx, head voice, singing.
- 13. / This breath is used for low air pressure, classical, and operatic sounds.
- 17. / the upper pair, each of which encloses a vestibular ligament, extends from one side of the thyroid cartilage in front to the arytenoid cartilage on the same side of the larynx in back, and is not directly concerned with speech production.
- 20. / A fancy name for the throat and your main source of vocal resonation.
- 22. / the highest part of the Pharynx. It exists above the mouth and behind the nose. It is the largest open space of the three Pharyngeal areas and is the most fixed. This means it is unable to close, making it an ideal resonator. The Eustachian tubes open into it, making it the path connecting our vocal sound to the ear internally. This area is referred to as the “ng” resonator from the sensation of resonance that results from the “ng” vocal sound found in words with that spelling, like “sing” and “hung”. It is also referred to as the Head Resonator.
