How does that translate into the qualities I hear in my voice? ([Location 374](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01FRAZH3W&location=374)) - Note: Don't Think on good and bad terms. - The quality of your voice depends primarily on the way you position the cords and the amount of air you move through them, ([Location 396](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01FRAZH3W&location=396)) - Tags: [[favorite]] - Some nasal sounds come about when a speaker tightens the back of his or her throat, which keeps the air from freely flowing into the mouth.
