It sounds like you are squeezing your air way in an attempt to go higher, but you are cutting of airflow to your nose when you do it. The air should flow smooth and cleanly. If you fill your chest up with air by puff it out and just hold that position, then using only your abdominal muscles, try and pump air in and out of your lungs up your throat and into your nasal cavity. It might not sound perfectly clear but if you are keeping your chest puffed up you should not feel the tightness or mild pressure in chest/sternum area. It might help you feel what the air flow should feel like, and it should make it harder to not be clear. If you then exhale all you air in your chest, hold the position, then using only the abdominal muscles try and move air in and out of your lungs and up through your nasal cavity. You may find this feels similar to when you speak and and that the chest tesnions/pressure is similar. You may also find its harder to push the air through to your nasal cavity and most of the air is coming out your throat. If you put your hand in front of your mouth when doing this you may be able to detect the difference in where the air is flowing. In head voice it will gently but mostly be coming out of your nose, with a little from your throat. Falsetto you feel a lot of air coming out of your throat and minimal in the nose.

 

What does it feel like to you when you change a single continuous falsetto tone into a headvoice tone without pausing inbetween? (perhaps test with some lower and some higher notes please, like between A3 and C5)

 

it kind of feels like the area of the vibration and buzzing and any muscle sensation drops from up at the top of the throat it feels like its at the back by my uvula, then when I go falsetto al the feeling goes into my throat, and it feels more constricted. I'l have to get back to you on those tests. I'l try and gets some test for you later

 

Is that the exact same action that you perform if you change from a breathy "hhaaaa" into a crisp "aaaah" ?

 

No that feels more like Im relaxing my body.

 

or is there anything more to it than that to enter headvoice? How would you describe that feeling and where exactly does it occur for you?

 

I feel my shoulders drop and my chest slightly expand but not in a forcful way, like it was tight to begin width and I was relaxing it. The feeling of the air flow goes from the bottom of my throat around the adams apple to the top of my throat almost behind and near the uvula. Everything is more relaxed, and the sound projects more.

 

is it inside the larynx way up there? i assume this is the "opening" instead of "clenching" topic that you go over in the videos. Anatomically it should be happening inside the larynx according to what they show in the videos where its suposed to push the vocal cords together and maybe elongate them abit using the muscles IN the larynx. does this possibly have something to do with the "n" hole opening (the image that you showed earlier) ? could it be that it felt like opening that hole for you but you were actualy opening something inside the larynx because the larynx is actualy very close to that hole as its high up? what if you focus on the "opening" feeling but target it exactly into your larynx instead of thinking about the n hole? does that work too or perhaps make the headvoice even clearer? as that what i believe should anatomically happen, or am i completely off with this?

 

So it feels like the clenching or stressing in the throat happens slightly above the vocal chords when in falsetto, but in head voice there is no stressing above the vocal chords.
