It's been my experience that now that I'm using my head voice more,
my falsetto is getting worse. I have a terrible crack in the C5-D5-
area which sounds very much the same as my voice used to do in my
normal voice's passaggio zone earlier. And still, the falsetto
singing, which used to be as easy thing for me as talking is now
feeling quite unnatural and forced. Feels like my cords are now used
to doing that head voice stuff.
