The voice, your very own instrument, can sing, speak, flip and creak. Vocal folds, vibrations and breathing all have an impact on how our voice sounds. Why don't more singers know about their own anatomy? Join Jeremy Fisher and Gillyanne Kayes to uncover the magical world of the larynx and much more.
