Abstract
An overview of theories in speech production is given, and classical vocal tract models are presented. These models have been mainly built to facilitate the understanding of articulatory, acoustic, phonetic relations. A new model of the vocal tract based on distinctive regions and modes will be described and its main characteristics presented.
