These cords, stretched from back to front, are relaxed and open during breathing, and taut during speech.
When they are required for speech, the two cords come close to each other so that air pressure builds up beneath them in the larynx. With sufficient air pressure, the cords are pushed apart starting with the inferior part and ending with the superior part of each fold.
This causes a wave-like motion to form on the cords which then releases this energy in the form of sound waves which can be modulated for speech.
