It's very difficult to "read" either of these suggestions as they are rather general. i have found in 18 years of teaching vocal pedegogy each student has different needs due to the shape of facial and bone structure. Where one student needs to create space another might have sufficient natural open sound. Another student may need more "forward" placement. It depends on the individuals need. I find teaching rather like molding a piece of clay. Keep it flexible and find the best possible way for you to make "free" beautiful sound then build in strength and stamina.
