I have been singing in my chest voice all the way up to C5. I am not sure how to flip up to head voice or where to make the transition. This makes the pitches loud and stacatto, and I guess it causes stress on the voice. You mentioned using the quality of sound that one uses in their speaking voice and I agree, if the vocalist has proper placement. Maria Callas had a beautiful voice to me, as if she were just using her speaking voice yet singing with ease. Julie
