I think that 'subvocalization' is directly related to how open the
throat is.

There was another important question in James' email that hasn't been
addressed yet and I think it affects a lot of players. Myself for one!

  He mentioned the "subvocalization" phenomena that happens sometimes .

. . or a lot of the time. I even heard one of the Japanese Masters
at the New York festival making a lot of these vocal sounds during his

beautiful shakuhachi performance and it is quite distracting. I also
heard Michael Gould mention at the Colorado camp that he had spent a
lot of time getting over this sometime in his past.

Has anyone addressed this in a way that could be shared as a technique

for stopping the little "subvocalization" grunts, groans and ahhh's?

Thanks,

Bill
