Q

Source-Filter Theory says ____

A

Vocal tract is visualized as a series of linked tubes: oral cavity (mouth), pharynx, nasal cavity; these tubes provide the variable resonating cavity that helps produce speech
Energy from vibrating VFs is modified by the resonance characteristics of the vocal tract
VFs generate a voicing source; voicing source routed through the vocal tract where it’s shaped into speech sounds
