I think it's more the effect of 'Om' dissolving everything 'Like Shiva'...does... So, it might be good for the renunciate, who would tend to 'give everything away'...you see..
The pronunciation, is more like the extended version, like this: AAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...... Extending the breath, for as long as you can say it... Strengthens the vocal chords, and attunes your voice to a 'Natural Voices... In other words, find the voice that can extend the sound the longest, and in that way, you find your natural voice and can use this as an exercize in practicing your 'Singing Voice'...and be able to extend you voice better, if you like to sing...
