La voz humana consiste en un sonido emitido por un ser humano usando las cuerdas vocales para hablar, cantar, reír, llorar, gritar, etc. Los pulmones deben producir un flujo de aire adecuado para que las cuerdas vocales vibren. Las cuerdas vocales son una estructura vibradora, que realizan un 'ajuste fino' de tono y timbre. Los articuladores (tracto vocal) consisten en lengua, paladar, labios, etc. Articulan y filtran el sonido. Las cuerdas vocales, en combinación con los articulares, son capaces de producir grandes rangos de sonidos.El tono de la voz se puede modular para mostrar emociones tales como ira, sorpresa, o felicidad. Los cantantes usan la voz (música) humana como un instrumento para crear música.

The human voice consists of sound made by a human being using the vocal folds for talking, singing, laughing, crying, screaming, etc. The human voice frequency is specifically a part of human sound production in which the vocal folds (vocal cords) are the primary sound source. (Other sound production mechanisms produced from the same general area of the body involve the production of unvoiced consonants, clicks, whistling and whispering.) Generally speaking, the mechanism for generating the human voice can be subdivided into three parts; the lungs, the vocal folds within the larynx, and the articulators. The lung (the pump) must produce adequate airflow and air pressure to vibrate vocal folds (this air pressure is the fuel of the voice). The vocal folds (vocal cords) are a vibrating valve that chops up the airflow from the lungs into audible pulses that form the laryngeal sound source. The muscles of the larynx adjust the length and tension of the vocal folds to ‘fine-tune’ pitch and tone. The articulators (the parts of the vocal tract above the larynx consisting of tongue, palate, cheek, lips, etc.) articulate and filter the sound emanating from the larynx and to some degree can interact with the laryngeal airflow to strengthen it or weaken it as a sound source. The vocal folds, in combination with the articulators, are capable of producing highly intricate arrays of sound. The tone of voice may be modulated to suggest emotions such as anger, surprise, or happiness. Singers use the human voice as an instrument for creating music.
