Peter, I very much enjoyed your review and tend to agree with it. The potential for voice damage concerns me with some of this as has already been pointed out with "breathy voice". However, my concerns also revolve around speaking "at the top of a breath" where pressures are high and onset of voice is forced to be hard, etc. Several of the suggestions seem to either force or encourage hard voice onset while breathy voice is also encouraged. All of this seems a little like putting rocks in the mouth as it all causes the speaker to change his/her voice in some way. I agree that further investigation of this program seems very desirable. I apologize for my typing. I've got tennis elbow and thumb problems so even being careful doesn't always work for me.
