As long as I'm recommending stuff... I found a weird, amazing "bare-handed speech synthesis" program featured on this website, which links to the actual pink trombone app/web page (which looks exactly like the image above). But before you go there, here's what it is:
"Pink Trombone by Dood.al visualizes an interactive cross-section of the human vocal tract that users can manipulate to simulate speech & other vocal sounds. The simulator produces different sounds based on where users slide the variable positions of the tongue, lips, & hard & soft palate, which can be altered in real time."
It looks like it's been designed to be used on pad-type devices where you can use both hands - on a computer you just get a mouse arrow - but it's still fun to play with, although when I play with it, it's like I'm Dick Cheney torturing some poor bastard just for fun.
But try it! It's so crazy strange!
