Proper Breathing and Richer Tone
Actors and singers know that to have the necessary air control for a performance they must use their diaphragm.
Once you have mastered diaphragmatic breathing you will learn it requires less work than chest breathing.
Tone depends on many factors, including the shape and size of your vocal mechanism.
If your voice sounds breathy you are probably using too much breathe.
If your voice sounds harsh and raspy its probably because of a closed throat.
