I wish I had a source at hand, but the information in the article concerning the chest not having an effect as a resonator is false, and the source that says that is incorrect. Although the air only exits past the vocal folds, the sound travels bidirectionally. Bronchial resonance can result in pressure wave phasing at the point of the vocal folds, affecting their timbre.
If you want to hear this for yourself, record yourself saying something with full lungs and then again with nearly empty lungs. Try not to strain because that will affect muscular function, and therefore vocal timbre, more profoundly than chest resonance.
I personally have the academic & professional credentials to speak with some authority on this issue, and I know that's not good enough to change the article (thankfully!), so I'll try to find a source. Dcs002 ( talk) 23:52, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
