Even if it’s not the same, it may still be close enough. How can we know what to do with the vocal chords in order to reproduce the sound?

Practice.

You’ve been practicing, to one degree or another, since the moment you were born. You’ve been listening to others speak and imitating them. It starts with “da-da” and “ma-ma” but it doesn’t end the moment you’re able to say “father” and “mother.” You keep learning and practicing, figuring out which tones are serious and which are light. Which are sarcastic and which are complimentary. You learn how to make your voice deeper or higher and to keep it flat or vary its tones. And the more you do it, the better you are at it.

Some people practice *hard* at that. Years of choir practice and voice lessons and listening to music with a critical ear. They go above and beyond the norm to develop their skill even further.

The more you practice, the closer you get.
