I'm afraid you lost me on this point. In my experience the vp is
certainly close-able and the the pharynx is stretch-able (although
admittable less-so than with a lowered larynx). The muscle systems are
somewhat interconnected but not rigidly so. They can function
independently. The image which always works for my belters is:
"classical uses an incipient yawn feeling up to the top of the head and
down into the chest. In belt, you just yawn upwards only." Works
almost every time.
