Bob, about that transition at C, <lifting is one name I've heard for it> I had a similar difficulty until I nailed the support problem.
I feel sure there are two extremes of support, none at all, such as the method most casual singers use and the over-done rigid support. Once you become aware of these extremes you'll be in the position to use only the support necessary.
I'm sure you've experienced the condition where to sing without effort is the highlight of a good day but it's on these same days that I think we slip into bad habits of NOT supporting, simply because we feel as if we don't need to.
With that belt on you'll become more conscious of the relaxation between the phrases as you breathe and then reapply the support.
Love to hear how it goes. Reg.
