    Vocal folds do not produce sound in the body, just control it. Actually changing the air pressure level = loudness. Humans can produce sound without them. Using exclusion method you can get the idea where the source of sound is.

    Obviously, breaking one's neck for real on stage is impracticable. It can lead to spinal cord injury or even death. There is a safe way to do this in simulation, however. Neck breaks in fights on stage or even TV are common in a lot of Asian martial art fight simulations, especially ninjutsu. It also happens in the end of a rear naked choke maneuver, like character President James Marshall did to a Russian terrorist soldier combatant in the movie "Air Force One". So one way to simulate a neck break without hurting or killing someone in stage combat is something like this - Do a rear naked choke on someone from behind, and do a sound knap - in this case, a "crepitus knap" - here, you will make a sound of a pop or a crack with your mouth, and at the same time, move one of the hands to the choked-one's L or right chin and move that elbow to another direction without actually twisting the neck of the other as you do the sound knap. This will simulate the choked one's neck being broken. The other person will react by playing dead, and then, on cue, you let that person go and that person will sit-fall to the ground and lay dead.

    Some of the history given is not accurate. Several things: 1. The Inquisition was designed to protect the new converts from Judaism mostly. Abandoning the Catholic faith was seen as a grave offense. Many jews converted to Catholicism, if they then wanted to revert back to judaism then they became a target of the Inquisition. The Inquisition, did not traget muslims, jews who didn't convert to Catholicism nor original Protestants. It targeted those who once Catholic reverted to other faiths. Tons of historians have debunked the mainstream narrative of the Inquisition. In the 300 years it lasted the death sentence amounted to somewhere between 1,000-3,000 at most. And the records include those whose effigie or image was burnt in place of the actual body, as many were able to flee. So the actual death toll is incredibly low. A ton of more people were killed in the witch hunts from England and the north of Europe than in the Spanish inquisition. Also most western European nations had had inquisitions, the Spanish one was the last one. 2. The Spanish Armada's disaster (as it was not a defeat) of 1588 is still lauded as a significant event and it wasn't. Anyone surprised by this, please research the English Counter Armada of the next year 1589 (Drake was present in this one too), that was a real defeat and a much bigger disaster or research the large english fleet's fleeing from the Spanish in 1591 at Flores, Azores. The Spanish dealt many naval blows to the English at Flores 1591 1593, Bay of Biscay 1592, Blaye 1593, in 1595 the Spanish fleet defeated Drake's fleet in the Americas in several engagements were the English fled (Drake would die in this campaign), the Spanish actuallly land in England in 1595 too and burn 4 towns, take a fort, etc... the war ends in 1604 by the England's James I and the peace terms causes indignation in England and festivities in Spain. Why? Because Spain wins the war and will also win the next war against England the one between 1625-1630 which will lounge the English into their civil wars right after. This reality has been hidden for too long because it's inconvenient, Spain will also defeat England in the War of Jenkin's Ear in the 18th century and in the American War of Independence Spain also played a key role with victories and logistics supplying to the Americans. 3. Now as for the Spanish Golden Age, it is huge (spans 2 centuries) and puts to shame that of England's which was mostly Shakespeare. Spain had huge writers, artists, inventors, check this out: a. Playwrights: Lope de Vega, Calderon de la Barca, Tirso de Molina and even Cervantes. The first two are considerably more prolific than Shakespeare with a ton of masterpieces. b. Novelists: Francisco de Rojas (La Celestina), Anonymous novel (Lazarillo de Tormes), Miguel de Cervantes (Don Quijote, La Galatea, First Short Stories, etc...) c. Inventors: Several but will note Jeronimo de Ayanz who was the inventor in the 16th century of the first underwater suit, first air conditioning system used in mines and his house, first submarine, and first steam engine machine (operational but underestimated). d. Explorers: Discovery of the American Continent plus the sea routes to go and come back, Discovery of the Pacific and most of its island and sea routes back to the Americas, discovery of Australia (Pedro de Quiros and Luis Vaez de Torres 1605, and discovery of the Antarctic (Gabriel de Castilla in the early 17th century). Also the first 3 circumnavigations of the globe, Drake's was the 4th. e. Artists: El Greco, Zurbaran, Murillo, Cano, Velazquez, etc....
