Geez, not me. If I were to try to push that much chest/speaking voice up
there, I would hurt myself. I cannot go above F above middle C without
switching. (I just tried. Ouch.) So in order to avoid a big "Clunk" at F#,
I start with a mix at middle C. I use chest voice when needed but otherwise,
I mix. One of my strengths is an even and full sound all the way up and down
my range. I would not be able to say that if I tried to push up chest. This
is the whole reason why I thought I had a limited range ... my chest voice
ended at G tops, well before I ever even knew people took voice lessons, and
I thought that was it.
