Recently I was wondering: What changes physically, when a singer change pitches?
It seems to me that you just open your mouth and the pitch comes out. From what I can tell, it's mostly a mental game, but still, something has to change physically to change the pitch. Sure there are exercises for legato, tone, vowel quality, range, etc. But how do human beings change pitch? Is it the vocal folds? The shape of the mouth? Does it have to do with the throat?
FYI: I'm a voice major in college, so I know how to sing (and do sing, daily). I'm not asking how to get better at singing. :-)
Just curious.
