Institution:

Colgate University

Subject:

Description:

J. Niblock The human voice is arguably the greatest mechanism for expression and communication in the natural world. Despite the essential role voices play in every day life, surprisingly few people afford any consideration to the structure or function of the voice. This course explores the astonishing array of coordinated internal forces that produce speech, song, and other vocal sounds. Students study anatomy, physiology, phonetics, and acoustics as each relates to the use, training, and health of the voice. The course also considers how facts, observations, and popular lore all contribute to perceived knowledge of the voice. Scientific methods are used to collect voice sounds, analyze samples, and interpret data. Anthropological and sociological perspectives are considered and contribute to class discussion.
