A Ventriloquist's Phonetics Pitch

A ventriloquist's performance presents the perfect excuse for introducing some of the subfields of phonetics.






Articulatory phonetics: production point of view (rate of vocal fold vibration of the speaker).

Acousitc phonetics: transmission point of view (fundamental frequency of sounds as they travel from speaker to listener).

Auditory phonetics: reception point of view (pitch as perceived by listener).
