(titze says the elevation of the larynx 'aids' medial compression making singing higher, easier. in some cases, jo estill is in agreement with him). this too, feels like an extension of my regular voice but, it does seem more related to falsetto + 'door squeak, as well and, it is easier.

Mike,
I have looked on Titze's web site (a good one, found at www.ncvs.org) and did not find what you mentioned. I did find the following that Titze suggested that with a lowered larynx, the medial surfaces have a better chance to make contact, and that with a higher larynx there is a tendancy for singers to have more neck and shoulder tension. He also said that singers who employ lowered larynx technique sometimes have trouble with their upper range. He says that he is less fearful of a higher laryngeal position, after he did this research. All this can be found at http://www.ncvs.org/singers/raisedve.pdf. You have to have the Adobe Acrobat player to read this file.
