Unit 17 All about Enuciation:

  In today's session we started it off by presenting our Vocal Presentation, all about Enuciating and how words are meant to be used, firstly we showed them two clips of Pronounciation and anunciation. The first Video was of " Friends" Joey and it shows you how you pronounce your words how sometimes you " Spit" afterwards. We moved onto the next clip where it showed you Vicky from " Little Britain" and how her words and pronounciation works./ Just showing these two clips you can see the difference straight away form the two. After this we got the class  into a circle then demonstrated how " Tongue Twisters"are pronounced and by doing this as percise and clear as possible we got everyone to do an exercise by using " Pencil" within the mouth. We did this so that the clarity of the voice can be heard.

I believe to improve on your speech Toungue twisters are a brilliant source to focus on your enuncaition.

The Human Voice disorders refer to breakdowns in the vibratory system – the focus of this patient education series.

Breakdowns can occur in any one or all three subsystems of voice production.

These are a few we came up with in College, The porcupine occupied the Argetine's Concubine's mind.

This type of exercise really gets you thinking on how you pronounce words and by putting a little thing in your mouth I.E a Pen for instance makes a lot of difference because the pen in the mouth is the main focus.

As the group did the exercise I seen a vased improvement on the speech, everyone was more fluent and the clarity was really easy to hear. People say that living in the North East we have really lazy accents, because we do not promounce our letters properly, but I believe it's how " YOU!" present yourself and the way you want others to be precieved.

We then explored the different variations of

                                  VocalS:

                So let's get started.!!!!!!

The Anatomy relates the describing and naming of various parts of the body, like it will mean the vocal system.
The "spoken word" results from three components of voice production: voiced sound, resonance and articulation.

•    Voiced sound: The basic sound produced by vocal fold vibration is called "voiced sound." This is frequently described as a "buzz" sound. Voiced sound for singing differs significantly from voiced sound for speech.
•     Resonance: Voice sound is amplified and modified by the vocal tract resonators (the throat, mouth cavity, and nasal passages). The resonators produce a person's recognizable voice.
•     Articulation: The vocal tract articulators (the tongue, soft palate, and lips) modify the voice sound. The articulators produce recognise Functions of the Voice Box

The key function of the voice box is to open and close the glottis (the space between the two vocal folds).

• Role in breathing: open glottis
• Role in cough reflex: close, then open glottis
• Role in swallowing: close glottis
• Role in voice: close glottis and adjust vocal fold tension + additional functions for singing

Key Components of the Voice Box

• Cartilages
• Muscles
• Nerves
• Vocal folds

Abnormalities or Changes in the Vibratory System Result in Voice Disorders

• The Human Voice disorders refer to breakdowns in the vibratory system – the focus of this patient education series.
• Breakdowns can occur in any one or all three subsystems of voice production.
