Hint: movements of the tongue affect this

Pls help ASAP

Opening the throat involves raising the soft palate (velum) lowering the larynx and assuming ideal positions of the articulators (jaw, lips and tongue) as well as shaping of the mouth and use of facial muscles. However, the position and shape of the tongue are critical elements of good vocal health and optimal acoustical resonance - the results being governed by the extent to which the tongue controls events of the resonator tube (the vocal tract) and by the tongue's effect on laryngeal efficiency.
