......... means the rising or falling in speech force.

• Quality

• Intensity

• The subglottal pressure

........ is the ability to produce different-sounding voices such as harsh, breathy, murmured or creaky.

• The subglottal pressure

• Phonation

........ is the pressure of the air below the vocal folds. This pressure can be varied due to intensity, frequency and quality.

• Vocal folds

• Lungs

• Rib cage

Voice is generated by airflow from the lungs.

• True

• False

Which of the following best describes the physiological impact of speaking without pauses on respiratory function?

• Increased lung capacity due to expanded rib cage.

• Enhanced oxygen intake through rapid breathing.

• Constriction of airways leading to reduced airflow.

• Activation of diaphragm muscles for improved breathing efficiency.
