The Physiology and Acoustics of the Human Voice

19 May 2025 | Andy McIntosh

The way the human voice works is a marvel of acoustic engineering, and each person’s voice is a unique outworking of this engineering. In this talk, we discuss the anatomy and physiology of the human throat and larynx. The shape of our vocal tract adds many harmonics to the sound we make. How have humans been designed to make sounds and further to combine words and music to sing, and what does this design tell us about the One whose voice spoke us into existence? We consider how the uniqueness of the human voice points us to Christ, whose voice is supremely unique above all others.

If the latest statistics are correct, a quarter of the world’s population signs up to Islam. That means the Church, you, and I have a big mission job ahead of us. This exciting field of Christian mission becomes even more urgent when we consider that there are more Muslims in the world than atheists. Islam is spreading in numbers, especially in Europe.
