How Tim Storms uses that range
Storms anchors everything in slack, low-pressure vocal folds: subglottal pressure stays tiny, closure stays gentle, and the tone drops toward B0 as fry and true phonation blur together. Resonance comes from a lowered larynx and huge pharyngeal space, not force. Above D4 he flips to a soft, unforced falsetto rather than pushing chest. Students copying him usually squeeze the throat chasing depth; he releases instead, letting air pass slowly and the folds go slack. Slow airflow, tall posture, zero neck tension — the depth is a relaxation trick, not a strength trick.
