Abstract

The goal of this chapter is to present the human speech production process in sufficient detail for the reader to understand why profiling should be possible, and to provide sufficient information to reason about the effects of different parameters on voice, so that profiling efforts may be better guided. The details are sufficient, but not complete since the area is too vast to be covered within one chapter of this book.
