<< Technically saying, the difference btw a head voice and a mouth voice is
where you get your resonance by directing the air flow from your throat: if
up to the head ( you can even feel your skull vibrating ), it's a head voice.
If ahead to the upper tooth ridge, so that your sinus cavities resonate, plus
a smile and a v-curved tongue tip, a mouth voice. No need for irony. Maybe
improvement only.

Tried what you describe here and it sounds like voce finta to me. The
manipulations you suggest hike up the larynx and produce an overly bright
tone. BTW, in your description of head voice you describe directing the air
up into the skull. This is impossible unless you have a hole somewhere in
your palate which would allow this to happen, which perhaps you do! LOL
