Any change in the cross section of the vocal tract shifts the individual formant frequencies, the direction of the shift depending on just where the change in area falls along the standing wave. Constriction of the vocal tract at a place where the standing wave of a formant exhibits minimum-amplitude pressure oscillations generally causes the formant to drop in frequency; expansion of the tract at those same places raises the frequency. Three other major tools for changing the shape of the tract in such a way that the frequency of a particular formant is shifted in a particular direction are the jaw, the body of the tongue and the tip of the tongue. Moving the various articulatory organs in different ways changes the frequencies of the two lowest formants over a considerable range [18].

Imagine you work as a consultant, and your daily job involves listening to the constructive criticism of others. as part of your job, you must listen to opposing viewpoints to make important decisions. in this activity, you are a consulting dam engineer. you must make a decision about four different dams; should they be repaired, taken down, or left alone? you will listen to contrasting opinions about what should be done with the dams before you make the final decision. as the consulting dam engineer, what do you decide to do with this dam? explain your reasoning. by making your decision, did you support the opinions of the mayor and/or the dam safety official? why or why not?
