I am enjoying this discussion.
Regarding the person who said that people without register breaks are lucky... I reply that it isn't luck, it's intelligent work with a good teacher/artist who knows what to do to eliminate them. Nobody *has* to feel severe register changes, with a low (but not depressed larynx) and appoggio, and proper cover. I have exercises to help with the above issues.
Regarding voice building... it had better be built if you want to sing opera and survive. It is simply not natural to do what we do and so we have to become vocal athletes. The circumference of the neck will even increase over time, as well as the size of the rib cage.
