Re: Constriction vs. Compression

1) Constriction is tightening the throat, larnyx, etc. It's not what you want (unless you're adding the minimal for the sound) generally speaking. It isn't exactly healthy either. Compression is just the force that holds the folds together. Overcompressing is using too much. Being properly adducted automatically compresses correctly.

2) If you use muscles that you shouldn't, you'll end up constricted. If you don't coordinate the ones you should use properly,then you'll be constricted. Compression, in the sense of NORMAL compression, is fine, nothing wrong with it. You need it.

3) Umm.... overwork? You mean like lifting weights and you do it too much? Well, if you work the folds, then they'll get tired, just like anything else. It's going to feel like you just ran a mile in four minutes and you're tired. Same thing.
