As far as the strohbass thing goes, I usually differentiate by how it feels. Strohbass is usually called 'growling' among my friends. It doesn't have the same feeling of breath support or resonance as chest voice. Well, that was ambiguous...
I have been finding lately, as I experiment with low-note-production, that any tension just kills the volume/projection, much more so than it does with high notes.
Who do/should B/Brt's look to as a professional model of sound? DFD? Ramey? Someone else? Sure, taste varies, but let's just see who everyone likes.
