I agree with that …
I agree with that last statement “the chest, by virtue…”. The sound of the voice is modified by resonance in the air spaces above the larynx through which the air flows i.e. not the chest.. However the quote is misleading as it misses the point that the chest resonance that voice books talk about is the conductive variety.

well, actually the …
well, actually the abdominal muscles are used to support the adduction of the folds and sustain of the sounds we produce – but don’t enhance or cause resonance either. And the diaphragm is an involuntary sheath of muscle which we do not control.

Thanks for asking …
Thanks for asking me to look it up…this is just one of many passages I found: “The chest is not an effective resonator. Although strong vibratory sensations may be experienced in the upper chest, and although numerous voice books refer to chest resonance, the chest, by virtue of its design and location, can make no significant contribution to the resonance system of the voice.”

There is such a …
There is such a thing as chest resonance, it is a vibrating sensation felt in the chest. It is a type of resonance called conductive resonance (look it up), so you are partly right, partly wrong. Same goes for head resonance, and I’m a soprano, you cheeky monkey

billy, you are …
billy, you are correct however when people say chest resonance or chest voice they’re basically refering to the use of the abdomin muscles, namely, the diaphragm. This causes more vibration in the sternum and a more open, resonant sound results.

actually, there is …
actually, there is no such thing as “chest resonance”… unless you’re a mummy… because resonance is the echoing of sound within space. there are 3 resonant chambers… the throat, the mouth and the nasal cavity. you cannot resonate in the chest – you will feel sympathetic vibration in the sternum, but not resonance. and you won’t have resonance in your head either (unless you’re a soprano – ha!)
