I'm not so sure! As I said on that post, Baxter's theory ( I don't have his
book. It belonged to my previous teacher ) seems to lead to SLS-like
assumptions, but then he swerves from the supposed course and shows that
chart on how to push head voice higher and higher ( which is an SLS anathema
based on reasons Baxter himself seems to agree with ). If you have his book,
take at look at that chart. It called my attention as soon as I read that.
Also, I don't know, and neither does my present
teacher, how would Steve Tyler produce those distorted high pitches without
raising his larynx, an anathema for both SLS and Baxter, his teacher??

Conclusion: ????????????
