It is this breathy quality, however which one must be careful never to exaggerate or the tone will not carry that gives that velvety effect to the tone that is so delightful. Mezza voce is just a concentration of the full voice, and it requires, after all, as much breath support.
It ought to be considered treason to think or to speak of The Country in this vague, breathy way.
His tones are forced, harsh, and breathy; they lack musical quality. His voice runs away with him and he cannot control or manage it. In the attempt to obtain some hold on his voice he 'reaches' for his tones with his throat muscles. The more he tries to regain control of the runaway breath the worse does his state become."
The shepherd's snake said something in his breathy whistling voice and the door pulled itself apart and allowed the shepherd to enter the cave. "Now," whispered the snake, "when my father asks you what you want, tell him you want the gift of understanding the language of the animals. He will try to give you something else but don't you accept anything else."
He looked over her head, not so much in disdain as in search of a more distant vista. "In a city church, of course, a great stone church with towers and chimes and arches, and crowded full of people, and with their horses and carriages waiting at the doors," he answered, he who had never trodden a paved street in all his life. "Oh!" But, this time, the monosyllable was breathy, and not sharp.
After an interval, another mysterious instinct impelled him to stop. Chiquita's lips moved; from them came answering sound, faint, breathy, scarcely voiced but exquisitely musical, exquisitely feminine, the call of the mating female bird. When she stopped, Frank took it up. He raised his hand to her gently.
You will notice when you begin to sing, if you watch yourself very carefully, that, first, you will try to inhale too much air; secondly, you will either force it all out at once, making a breathy note, or in trying to control the flow of air by the diaphragm you will suddenly cease to send it forth at all and will be making the sound by pressure from the throat.
The followers of this school forget that there can be no tonicity without tension. Flexible firmness without rigidity, the result of flexible, vitalized position and action, is the only true condition. The tone of the school of relaxation is nearly always depressed and breathy; it always lacks vitality. We are in the habit of measuring time by days, weeks, months, years, decades and centuries.
Serviss was willing to believe the girl's trance real, and that she had no part in the hocus-pocus up to this point; but even as he leaned forward to peer into the faintly visible face of the sleeper a voice, breathy yet metallic, as though coming through the horn of a phonograph, sounded in his ear. "Be not so doubting, my boy. I, too, doubted." "Who are you?" he asked.
The book also describes the three faulty ways of attack: the vocal cords approximate for the production of the tone after the breath has started, resulting in a disagreeable breathy attack; the glottis closes so firmly that the attack is accomplished by an extraordinary explosive effect or click; the vocal cords seek to adjust themselves to the pitch after the tone has started, and produce a horrible scoop in the attack.
