squeeky door noise "eeeek" and I have tried talking like Mickey Mouse..but
it's not singing is it? Onve I try and sustain a note it's all chest
tone..and chest tone with my voice teacher in higher notes is a no no. >>

Have you tried lip trills? (Also known by some as "bubbling.") I think you
and your teacher may have a question of semantics as far as "head" and
"chest" are concerned, much as we did on the List a few days ago.

Try lip trills, try whimpering like a puppy (and then opening from that into
the "caw-caw" you mentioned, try sirens (I like an octave jump on
"oooo--ee-oo", myself). I wish we could hear you to know what kind of a
sound you're making...
