The video of Australian doctor Tom Thum and research by Dr. Matthew Broadhurst at the Queensland Voice Research Center will give you the answer.

Specifically, Dr. Matthew Broadhurst used a regular throat scanner and put a 5 mm flexible micro-tiny endoscope into the nose, down to Thum's throat to see how this part really works when they are performing. beatbox.

When you lower your voice, the voice box system closes or pulls straight up behind the nose. All tissues vibrate, blending together to produce sound.
