Michael,
Isn't that turned around? I was under the understanding that chest/modal
voice used the entire length of the vocal fold in vibration, and head or loft
(which is an excellent way of describing the sensation for many) was when the
vocal fold length was shorter.
THanks for any clarification and reference points,
