The use of front resonance is all bad. It gives you a sound that’s less credible & magnetic. It corresponds with a thin resonance which doesn’t have a “big” impact on the listener. Front resonance also corresponds with a regional or foreign accent.
However, the use of back resonance is all amazing. It makes people listen to you & follow your directions easily.

Resonant Voice
People who have a lot of influence usually do so with a magnetic voice. To have a voice with the resonance in the back you need to limit your lip movement when you speak.
Of course your lips come together when you say, /p/, /b/ & /m/ but otherwise please don’t round your lips for /o/ & /u/ and don’t stick them out for /sh/ and /th/. That’s front resonance in full swing! Don’t move your face except to show expressions.

Using a Magnetic Voice
Next, you need to focus the vibration in the back of the mouth over the back of your tongue. It gives you a gorgeous, fuller sound that gets people to listen to you & do what you say.
Also, remember that our voices are essentially air molecules vibrating. The more air you use the better you’ll sound.
Just make sure the air comes out of your mouth–not your nose!
