"It is misleading, therefore, to speak of 'supporting the tone from the diaphragm', if by 'supporting the tone from the diaphragm,' if by 'supporting' is meant attaining a degree of strength and projection. The function of diaphragm in exhalation is confined merely to that of exerting a measure of control over the rate at which the breath is allowed to escape; in other words, of parceling it out as needed to maintain phonation"
