BONUS: Why is respiration an important aspect of generating speech in relation to speech science?

- Airflow is source of phonation

- The influence of airflow controls many aspects of speech including pitch, intensity, and time

- Clinical applications - (ex. vocal fold paralysis, muscle tension dysphonia)
