Over one million views, he's an internet sensation. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
PROFESSOR SCREAMS | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
Oh, oh, where is McCork? | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
He usually bursts in doing something crazy by now. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
Good morning, Colin. Good morning, Dr Knowles. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
I take it you've seen the video then, Professor? | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
Yes, I've seen the video and I am not impressed. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
It's only a bit of fun, Professor. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
Well, I don't find it one bit funny | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
and I'd like to assure that my days of acting the fool are over. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
-But, McCork! -We're live in five, four, three... | 0:00:37 | 0:00:42 | |
This is Brain Freeze! | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
With Dr Knowles, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
Professor McCork | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
and... | 0:00:50 | 0:00:51 | |
Colin the floor manager. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
Stand by! | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
Hello, everyone, you're very welcome to Brain Freeze. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
And it's time for... | 0:01:07 | 0:01:08 | |
Today's Big Question! | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
Today we're asking why does my voice sound different recorded? | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
-First we need to look at how we hear... -Hang on, Doctor. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
If you don't mind, I'll take this one. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
OK, off you go. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
When we speak or sing, our vocal cords vibrate. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
La-la-la-la! | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
This vibration creates invisible sound waves which travel out | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
in all directions before returning and entering the ear canal. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
The signal is then boosted or amplified in the middle ear | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
before reaching the inner ear, where it's converted to nerve | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
impulses that the brain perceives as sound. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
Over to you, Dr Knowles. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
Er, Dr Knowles? | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
-We happen to be live. Hello? -Yes, sorry. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
Erm, let's take a quick break. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
And we're clear! | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
Now, Dr Knowles, I really need you to focus on the | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
second half of the show, OK? The lights will come up... | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
Yes, boss, ratings are down. I understand. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
Viewers want the silly McCork back. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
Yes, boss. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:11 | |
Oh, crumpets! | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
I never thought I'd say this but I wish we had the old McCork back. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
Honestly, I don't know how I work with these people. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
-BELL RINGS -Places, everyone! We're going live! | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
We've seen how the sound of our voice enters our ears through the air, | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
but we also experience it in another way, through our bones. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:34 | |
When we speak or sing, sound also travels from the vocal cords, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
directly to the inner ear through the bones in our head. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
La-la-la-la! | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
You can hear what this sounds like by blocking your ears | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
and speaking at the same time. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
Wa-wa-wa-wa! | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
Because the sound is travelling through bones, | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
the low bass frequencies are enhanced and it sounds muffled. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:56 | |
La-la-la-la! La-la-la-la-la! | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
SHE GIGGLES | 0:03:00 | 0:03:01 | |
-Are you all right, there, Professor? -Eh-hem. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
I beg your pardon. Where were we? | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
Is it time for the answer yet? | 0:03:06 | 0:03:07 | |
Today's Big Answer! | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
So you're used to hearing your voice from a combination of both | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
external and internal sources but when you hear your voice | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
recorded and played back, the internal sound is missing. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
And that's why you perceive it as sounding different. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
-That's all for today, folks. -Goodbye. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
-Working with amateurs, honestly. -Quick, Dr Knowles! | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
-I think our problems are over! -What? | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
-Oh, the boss is going to love this. -What's so funny? | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
What are you laughing at? | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
HE CHUCKLES | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
Actually, it is kind of funny. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
La-la-la-la! | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
Well, as the old saying goes, if it ain't broke don't fix... | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
Agh! | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 |
