What Makes Your Voice Unique?

Dr. Tina Lasisi has strange encounters with the production team and notices their voices are quite...different. Is there a glitch in the matrix, or is this our final episode of 'Why Am I Like This?'— In this episode, Dr. Lasisi talks us through how the structure of our vocal tract produces sound, how accents are learned, and why we seem to be the only species to "speak." "Why am I like this?" is a show hosted by biological anthropologist Tina Lasisi, and produced by STEMedia, that dives deep into evolutionary biology to explain some of our existentialism and everyday questions about our body.
