It does not describe the process physiologically, it describes it experientially, that is, in terms of how it feels to the singer to do it right.<br /><br />When you initiate the onset with a feeling of inhaling you set into motion the entire support/appogio complex. Clearly you are not actually inhaling, you are exhaling, but it feels like inhaling or "drinking in". The epigastrial area stays out, because the inspiratory muscles are working to stabilize the exhalation.<br /><br />Hope this helps.<br /><br />JoelAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00857305284000156436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5357295524014669925.post-27334954885818396332011-08-09T14:18:52.276-04:002011-08-09T14:18:52.276-04:00I have always been confused by this technique, nev...I have always been confused by this technique, never having understood what it means specifically. Does this refer to initiating a tone WITHOUT the inward movement of the epigastrium? I enjoy this blog.magellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07136948601071273090noreply@blogger.com
