While researching online I found a interesting scholarly article on "Physical Therapy as a means to optimize posture and voice parameters in student classical singers." This is more of an experiment than an argument.
Correct posture is very important to a singer. It can change the sound of your voice and its strength. You can tell a huge difference from slouching down in a chair and singing and then sitting up right and back straight with your shoulders relaxed.

This experiment was performed on a 26 year old female classical singing student, and its aim was to improve the singers posture and voice parameters. The experiment showed great results. After four months of an individual rehabilitation program her postural alignment improved and her vocal dynamic and pitch range extended with smoother curves connecting the measuring points.
This experiment argues that postural alignment can be changed within four months and could possibly influence some of your voice parameters, but one experiment on one person is not enough to make this a fact. There needs to be many more experiments conducted on a wide variety of singers to see if these findings can be generalized.

This is very interesting on how posture will affect the voice. i never thought of how much it impacts how our voices act, and how it will influence some of the voice parameters. this would definitely be interesting to my girlfriend who is a singer. thanks for the useful information.
