At the time I wrote this I wasn't thinking about the idea of creating a "powerful" voice, just about moving air that would allow the vocal cords to vibrate etc. So that may have been the cause of my omission. I'll go and fix it - though I will insist that the source of the <I>air</I> is the lungs. The propulsion is most definitely provided by the diaphragm. <BR/><BR/>You rock.

Your longs process the O/CO2 exchange, but it is your diaphrapgm that controls both the impulse to take in the breath and the release of the air over the cords and has a much greater impact on vocal production, in terms of volume, resonance and register. <BR/><BR/>Annoying acting teacher will go away now.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996587091003594735noreply@blogger.com
