As I stated, good support is a byproduct of good posturing of the folds. The
closer the folds prior to phonation the less air is needed. The CNS will
then trigger the air to come out a slower pace (just as if you produced vocal
fry, that production demands less air). Now, if a SLS instructor did
directly deal with breathing it would be by making sure the ribcage is not
collapsing.
