> What about the cheeks... the > zygomatic arches of the face?
I've heard people advise singers to "activate" them, or to pull the cheeks up in a smile position, or to feel them get rosy or in other ways do something, mental or physical, with the cheeks. Doesn't work for me. It turns the tone screechy.
I think a lot of what facial and vowel adjustments all singers make has a lot to do with your natural bone structure (of the face). I've noticed that singers with large round faces and huge, big-boned jaws and cheekbones do things differently than I do. The natural structure of your face has to be taken into account, since one singer's screech might be another's big beautiful squillo and a third's muffled woof.
