One of the things about this entire section that I found interesting was that in each of the exercises he mentioned, one little tweak would result in unnecessary tension or pressure. I think this is something I have experienced before, because I have even tried many of these exercises, and I didn't feel like they were as comfortable as the book made it seem. I can vouch for the free-flowing air exercise because when I do that one my lower range opens up to no end. I liked the clarification that all space we are trying to create is upward space. I think those small clarifications can make a big difference to our students. I also liked how he said that what most people feel as support is actually sub-glottal pressure. I know that is something I have felt many times. I will be honest, I didn't really understand all of the different [a] sounds he was referencing. I do understand that the one is less forced, but I couldn't tell you how it sounds different. I am curious about how speaking range correlates with voice type, because most of the people I've worked with don't know how to classify my voice type, but my speaking range is generally low.
