Two things:
1.Can someone who is savvy with the way this group works help this man get
connected? I miss his insight and knowledge.
2. The description of the way in which the mass of the vibrating
components of the vocal chords can change made a little light flash on
above my head: since the density of the material doesn't change, more mass
= more volume = more air displaced = more power required to displace it =
more airflow to produce the power = a louder source of vibration. Our task
then, if volume, or projection, is required, is to find an appropriate way
of resonating so as to be able to utilize this stronger signal.
I now wonder if the initial signal could be so powerful that the
resonators couldn't do it justice and therefore energy would be wasted. I
suppose this would be audible. Maybe even familiar :o) john
