>our vocal folds basically have the same structure
Every person’s voice is **basically** the same. In the full spectrum of audible sounds, everyone’s voice sounds basically the same. We don’t have people who speak, and it sounds like a chainsaw, or others who speak and it sounds like radio static, everyone’s voice basically sounds like a human voice. The small differences in pitch and timbre of each person’s voice is a combination of the minute differences in size and shape of the vocal folds, throat, larynx, mouth, tongue and soft pallate, and other internal mechanisms we use to shape our voices. But the all sound basically the same.
