i disagree with ascertion that breathiness is a 'trapping' of youth. most
young girls (who generally seem to be the ones afflicted with breathiness)
are very capable of making all sorts of clear noises when talking, giggling,
squealing,etc.. however, when it comes to singing, they want to make it
'pretty' so, they use breath the way my late uncle jim used to use ketchup-
they dump it on everything!
