    @Eliza Woah, I’d love your analogy explained a little more! I’d say the larynx is the pitch!:)

    @Lily: I have to say there’s a whole lot more I could learn about vowels, harmonics, formants etc., but if you’re interested in learning more about the acoustics side of singing, I thoroughly recommend checking out a guy called Ken Bozeman (http://www.kenbozeman.com/) I saw him talk at a vocal conference last year, and he explained harmonics really well and in a really practical way and it blew my mind:)

    I did go away and think about our body as a car and came up with this:

    Diaphragm = engine
    Larynx = gears (but probably should be steering wheel for pitch lol)
    Mouth/tongue = Maybe this should be gears, like for different tones
    Dynamics = accelerator
    Eyes = indicator!
    Radio = YOUR SINGING!!!

    Any more?!

    It’s silly fun really.

    I’m sure Ken Bozeman would be more professional and academic in a lecture than me.. Lol
