Articulatory Exercises: Experiencing How Vocal Folds Go Up & Down
Locate your hand on your larynx while reproducing such vowels consecutively, first with a pause
in between and then continuously. Your vocal folds will experience fascinating movements as you
vary the pitch of your voice. If you utter a vowel with a high pitch (pronounced more intensely)
then your vocal folds should go...guess where?...Voila! high or up. If you utter such vowels with a
low pitch (less intense), then your vocal folds will have to move...guessed it?...low or down.
