Awareness of Vocal Hygiene Among Kattunayakan Tribe

Ms. Anjana Santhosh and Dr. Satish Kumaraswamy

Abstract

Voice is a crucial communication tool, which is produced by the vibration of vocal folds. Vocal fold scarring can affect voice quality, excessive use of voice can also affect the quality of voice. Vocal hygiene is a daily routine of healthy behaviors to keep your vocal folds in good condition. The study looks at the vocal hygiene awareness among Kattunayakan tribe. To assess the awareness of vocal hygiene, the study used 15 close set of questionnaires. The statistical research shows that the Kattunayakan tribe has relatively little expertise of vocal hygiene.

Introduction

A strong, useful, and creative communication tool is the human voice. Voice is capable of expressing both exquisite emotional delicacy and complex intellectual concepts. The voice is the main medium for influencing one's fellow countrymen and projecting one's own individuality (Sataloff, 2006).

Talking, singing, laughing, sobbing, screaming, shouting, humming, and other vocal expressions are all examples of human voice use. The vocal folds (vocal cords), which are the main sound source for human speech, provide the human voice frequency. Unvoiced consonants, clicks, whistling, and whispering are all made via different methods from the same general area of the body. Vocal folds, which are situated opposite one another in the larynx, vibrate to create the sound of your voice. Between the tip of the tongue and the top of the trachea, which serves as the entrance to the lungs, is where the larynx is situated.

Vocal folds are open when you are not speaking, allowing you to breathe. But when it's time to talk, the brain plans a set of actions. Air from the lungs blows past, causing the vocal folds to snap together and vibrate. The mouth, nose, and throat serve as resonating cavities to modulate the sound waves that are created by the vibrations. The size and structure of your vocal folds and resonating cavities impact the quality of your voice, including its pitch, volume, and tone. Because of this, every person's voice sounds different.
