I just noticed that my voicing was forcing air almost straight down because my tongue forces air to travel along the back of my front two teeth.
Is this too high?

The placement of the tongue can be different for some people depending on the size of ones tongue and teeth. I suggest you experiment with the placement of your tongue both in front of your tongue and the back by the molars. I believe I have something about that in one of my articles on my website.

I try to basically fill the "empty space" in my mouth. So the thinnest route from the back of the throat to the mouthpiece is achieved. Almost like a simultaneous "L" and "E" sound. E-tongue up in the back of the throat. L-tongue put forward very close to the mouthpiece/front teeth. The combination makes your air very fast.

Why would you want to fill the "empty space" in your mouth? Surely the "empty space" TJTG refers to is the resonance chamber?

What I'm trying to achieve is extremely fast and warm air.
What do you mean by resonance chamber? Where in the mouth? I feel as though everything from the throat to nasal cavity affects that.

That all depends....what does it SOUND like? If you're getting the sound and response you're trying to achieve, then whatever you're doing is just fine.
