Ah...thanks alot for the replies!!

However, I'm quite confused with falsetto vs. head voice. I was actually pretty sure I sang all of that in "non-falsetto". At least, that's how it felt for me. Just to make sure, I recorded a clip of me doing the falsetto slide, one starting in the voice I did that slide earlier in(which I think is head voice), and the second one starting in definite falsetto, with an obvious break into chest voice at the end. Now, if you tell me that BOTH are falsetto, now, that would be intriguing.

Falsetto and head voice are quite confusing because of so many7 different interpretations. I'm a fgull voice teacher, so what I would call your first slide would be a mixed type tone. You've elimintaed the breathiness and your break and although it wasn't completely a full voice tone, it wasn't falsetto either. That's kinda like on the T.T. exercise whwere you go from falsetto to full voice. If falsetto were a 1 and full voice were a 10, then your first slide was around a 5 or 6, whereas your second slide was definitely pure falsetto. Don't let it trip you out. The head voice tone is perfect for singing a lot of pop and some metal. I can't really name any singer who doesn't mix it up. Both a strong full voice or head voice in the upper rage are fine to use. Even falsetto sometines for effect. But, the very first slide you sent me, although it may have seemed a little confusing to you, it was closer to falsetto, maybe a 3 on the scale of 1-10. Don't worry brother, you are on the right path.

I'm certainly no singing expert, but I hit a full voiced head voice for the first time in my life about 5 months ago, and trust me, you'll know when it happens. It feels really awesome if you've never hit it before, it's definitely a new feeling. Do plenty of transcending tone exercises, and eventually you'll figure out how to get it. It certainly feels very different than falsetto, and i'm sure you'll recognize it when it happens.

It's freedom :)

Is this full voice then. It feels very resonant and is super loud and I am sure it's not falsetto :(

Thanks for the clarification, Jaime and RX88. By the way, if I'm starting the 7-week-workout, should I already be incorporating "practicing the zipper-technique" into my daily regimen, or should I focus on breathing and VSR first...or both?

And Doug...holy fajitas! That sounded like full voice to me.
