Think of a brass or woodwind musical instrument. Very minor adjustments with your fingers greatly alter the sound coming out. Your vocal cords are different from everyone else’s. Different length of cord, width of windpipe, flexibility of muscles, innervation by the brain and how precisely you can control them, etc.
