Hey Guys,
Judging by my recent post one could deduce I'm having some head voice problems)))
I think I've got all the help I needed, yet there's one more thing I wanted to ask you.
Some background: I'm now at a stage where I'm fairly comfortable with my E4-A4 range, which is now chestier and more resonant than before. And that I attribute to this wonderful place However, I'm still struggling with my highs. Even before I started singing and training I could never hit a high "woohoo", for example, which was and still is quite embarrassing. I mean I CAN sing, but I cannot make a comfortable "woohoo" sound, which always gets stuck around a C5-C5# and feels very thick. I can go up to a F5 on the lip bubbles, but I need tones of air to do so. If I back down off the air pressure my folds come apart and only air comes out on Ab4 and above. Learning support helped my mid range but, so far, it did nothing for my upper notes.
Now, if I tense my stomach real hard I can squeak on G5s-C6s, but when I try to "connect" THAT to my lower notes, everything falls apart.
Below is a link to an audio example. I think, I'm hitting some A5s on the "ya ya ya", but when I try to go down I crack BAD.

After about 20 mins of making these kinds of sounds my voice feels a bit tired, but not all that much. Moreover, I tried singing in my mid range after that and it felt pretty good.
Now, I would really need your advice on this. Does my experiment have any merit to it? Is there a potential there? I don't think I'm hurting myself badly, but if you think that I am, then I will quit.
Really looking forward to your suggestions,
Thanks so much for all your help already,
Vlad
