How do we make all those colors with our mouths?
In chapter 5 we encounter the incredible case of the descending larynx. This marvelous evolutionary adaptation allows us a much greater variety of mouth sounds. Now Tori Bloom sends us an internet model where you can actually play around with things like tongue placement, pitch, nasals, stops, fricatives, lips, all the many ways we can form words and lyrics and sounds with our mouths. Here's the site: https://dood.al/pinktrombone/. Thanks Tori!
