The Science Behind the Human Voice

The human voice begins with a simple act — breathing.
As air flows from the lungs through the trachea and into the larynx (voice box), it sets the vocal folds into vibration. This vibration transforms air pressure into sound waves — the foundation of every word, melody, and emotion we express.

At Yoskarn Clinic, we study this process with medical precision, understanding how each element — breath, vibration, resonance, and articulation — contributes to a person’s unique vocal signature.


From Airflow to Sound

  1. Airflow Generation

    • The lungs act as the power source, providing steady air pressure.

    • Controlled exhalation regulates volume and tone.

  2. Vocal Fold Vibration

    • When air passes through the glottis (the space between the vocal folds), the folds vibrate rapidly — hundreds of times per second.

    • The frequency of these vibrations determines the pitch of your voice.

  3. Resonance and Amplification

    • The sound produced by the vocal folds is faint.

    • It is amplified and shaped by the pharynx, oral cavity, and nasal passages, creating recognizable speech and singing tones.

  4. Articulation

    • The tongue, lips, and soft palate refine the sound into words.

Every stage of this process must work in harmony — if one part is strained or misaligned, the voice may lose clarity, strength, or range.


Why the Process Matters in Voice Medicine

Understanding how sound is produced allows physicians to diagnose vocal disorders accurately.
Even subtle imbalances — such as incomplete vocal fold closure or irregular vibration — can cause hoarseness, voice fatigue, or pitch instability.

At Yoskarn Clinic, Dr. Somyot Kunjak and his specialized team use advanced tools such as stroboscopy, acoustic analysis, and laryngeal imaging to examine each patient’s vocal mechanics.
This scientific insight forms the foundation for personalized treatments and surgical procedures that restore both function and natural expression.
