Reg,
Once you start altering the airflow, the folds will react accordingly.
Higher airflow will cause the folds to either hyperadduct to resist, which
will inevitably involve extrinsic muscle groups, or gap in someway to avoid
the hyperadduction which will lead to breath mixture in the tone.
Of course all this talk of support is useless in the long run, because it is
ultimately the prephonatory tuning of the folds themselves that determine how
much air is used and how the body will react to deliver the air necessary to
engage Bernoulli.
