Usually when a voice like that is thought of it would include some breath
mixture also. Is this the case with you?

Well no actually..you mean like Marilyn Monroe breathy right? I don't have a
breathy voice...it's more what you think of when you here a narrator speak.
Melodic, and full...not high pitched though...not raspy or like a man's
voice...just like well sex voice...what else can I say? I remember once calling
to get my phone connected at a new apartment and the operator asking me out...so
it must be a sex voice times 10! *laugh* It's just quite a problem to make it
come out as a "head tone" I have always sung with chest tone...and I never
thought it sounded breathy...when my teacher mimics the sound I make she makes
it very breathy...but quite frankly it isn't as breathy as the majority of
"unschooled" singers I have heard. I know this head tone thing is a must...and
I am determined to learn the technique.

whimpering like a puppy and trying very hard to achieve SOME kind of sustained
head tone notes.)
