It sounds like too much air is coming out because thats exactly whats happening. What you are doing is pushing extra air through the cords, and that extra air is creating whatever rasp you are getting, if any. What you need to do is use no more breath than you do when your speaking, push down like going to the restroom, and make sure you are placing the sound in your soft pallate, the soft part of the roof of your mouth. If you do continue to send up extra air, always place it to the soft pallate. This will keep the air from drying out the cords, and it will keep you from any general strain. Play around the with amount of push you need, but make sure the push is always coming from below (like using the bathroom) and not from the throat.
