I have a "falsetto," and I have both an unsupported head voice and a supported head voice (also a chest voice, but that's down low).
In the "falsetto" tone, I create a breathy, hooty tone that can not be crescendoed (a little-girly tone, totally unconnected from my regular head voice). The unsupported head voice sounds very similar to the falsetto-girly-flip-tone, but I can crescendo on it. The supported head voice is "opera" voice which I use normally. Chest voice I save for below an F4.
I know they ("they" being Lloyd and Miller) say there's no such thing as female falsetto -- that it's all head voice -- but I just don't believe it. I cannot go from my "falsetto" voice into a head tone without a major flip/break. If I stop and re-attack the note in unsupported (soft and breathy) head, then I can go from there into regular head voice. Likewise, I couldn't go from head to chest in my lower voice without the same kind of flip/break.
