Many of you have reported a difficulty using both falsetto and head
voice in the same range. I find this analogous to being unable to
ride a bicycle on a certain street after learning how to drive a car
down that street. The reports bear the irrelevant subject "David
Daniels speaks on the CT voice". I initially sent the post below with
the subject "Changing mechanisms", as I found that the thread had no
longer anything to do with David Daniels. I suspect that my post was
missed by many of you as a result, so here it is again:

I would alter "length of the phrase" to "range of the phrase".

I look forward to reading about the experience of anyone who does the
experimentation I suggest.

Good luck,
