I've read all that with relish and finally managed to save them in Acrobat. It has occurred to me that some may not have Acrobat on their computers to allow then to access this little gold mine.
A question about lip trills. I have found that lip buzzes done at a soft level as Titze advocates, are the great way to start the cords onto a good vocal day, however...trills... can't seem to work out the difference. If I make my 'buzzes' to loud, I seem to do a nasty at the cord level. His explanation of the lip or nasal opening matching the pressure verses rate of flow, I find very helpful indeed, BUT...trills... they sound to me as if they do not fit the E times I of the buzzes. Can you expand on this for me please. Thanks Reg.
