My check list:
1. Relative implosivity of phonation (i.e., not pushing air).
2. Absence of the intrusion of swallowing musculature into the phonation
process (e.g., biting, pharyngeal squeezing).
3. Relative stability of the larynx.
Looking at these things I am aware that they may be taken in a dozen
different ways around the world by people who bring their own frame of
reference to what they have read. Just another reason we need voice
teachers.

That's why I asked the question. Too many times problems are boiled down to
a lack of support yet it is never really clearly defined. I hardly ever use
the word in my studio, but instead would really zero in on what is at the
root of the problem (for example, a high larynx) and prescibe measures to
correct it.
The word support is often undefined and a catch all.
