  Hey!
  
  In animals, voice production happens like this:
  
  Air from the lungs is exhaled.
  
  It passes through the larynx (or syrinx in birds).
  
  Vocal cords (or membranes) vibrate to create sound.
  
  The sound is shaped by the mouth, throat, and nose.
  
  All this is controlled by the brain. 🐾
