Your voice is an incredible instrument—and it’s mostly hidden! Let’s explore the key parts of your vocal anatomy so you can better understand how it works and improve your singing.

1. The Larynx
The larynx, or “voice box,” sits at the top of your throat and houses your vocal folds. You can feel it by running your finger down your throat to the “Adam’s apple.” It naturally moves lower when you yawn and higher when you swallow. A lower larynx gives a darker tone, while a higher larynx creates a brighter sound. Try singing an “OO” vowel for a darker tone and “EE” for a brighter one.

2. Vocal Folds
Your vocal folds vibrate to produce sound. They stretch and thin for higher pitches, similar to the strings on a guitar. However, this raw vibration isn’t much until it travels through your throat and mouth to resonate.

3. Vocal Tract
Your vocal tract (from your vocal folds to your lips) filters and shapes your sound. A larger vocal tract, like during a yawn, creates a dark tone. A smaller tract, like when making a nasal “whee,” results in a bright tone.

4. Soft Palate
The soft palate at the back of your mouth impacts tone. A lifted palate adds space for a richer tone, while a lowered one makes it sound flatter. Practice lifting your palate by inhaling on a “K” sound and sighing out.

5. Tongue
Your tongue’s position affects tone. A forward tongue (as in “EE”) produces brightness, while a back tongue (as in “OO”) darkens it. Keep your tongue relaxed to avoid tension or nasal tones.

6. Jaw
Keep your jaw gently dropped in an “UH” shape. Avoid over-dropping, which can cause tension. Try singing on “YAH” or “YUH” to free up movement.

7. Lips
Your lips adjust tone: rounded for darker sounds (like “OO”) and wide for brighter tones (like “EE”). Experiment with different shapes to explore your range.

Understanding your anatomy makes singing more intentional and fun. Happy singing!
