Are the lungs connected to my voice?

A variety of elements combine to produce the human voice, whether singing, speaking, or shouting. It all starts with air. Air from your lungs flows down your trachea (also known as the windpipe) and vibrates your vocal chords, a small, two-part muscle found in your throat's larynx (also known as the voice box). The pitch of the note is determined by the distance between the vocal chords: if you close the gap between your vocal chords almost completely, the result is a high-pitched sound. When you open the space, a low-pitched sound is produced. And the volume of the note is determined by the pace with which you breathe. These sounds are formed into words by your lips and tongue.
