Talk:Voice projection

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This "top of the lungs" "bottom of the lungs" stuff... are we supposed to take this seriously? Air is a fluid. If you compress the bottom of your lungs, guess which air escapes first. Relatedly, I'm no physiologist, but my impression was that the diaphragm is used to expel air from the lungs in all breathing, whether deep or shallow. Those throat muscles aren't gonna get air out no matter how you use 'em... they are important for producing _sound_, of course, but again that applies equally for normal talking and for projecting. A stub is a stub, I guess, but I'd like to know how this actually works, and this "top of the lungs" story sounds like gibberish to me. Of course, I've been wrong before.
