Lots of questions for you here...
What exactly is happening when you descend thru the passaggio. What
Handel aria is it?
My suggestion is to imagine that you are *ascending* when you *descend*
all the time, and it should feel like it keeps more head voice in it.
What vowels do you do the sirens on? Do you modify in the passaggio?
