What Causes Emotional Changes Of Voice Quality?
Question: Does volume of one's voice related to just the nature of the vocal chords or something more? I tend to get very loud when I am excited both positively and negatively or, am trying to say something with emphasis. Sometimes I don't mean to be aggressive but to others, I came across as so, because of my volume. I want to know the scientific reason behind this and also if I can do anything about it.

Answers for your queries.

3. Articulators (lip, tongue, tooth, palate) - sound flow filtered and articulated.
These 3 components modulates the changes of voice in emotions like happiness, sadness, anger and XXXXXXX
