Example—
In ascending the scale, you should cover the tone. To cover the tone simply put a little more "o" in your "ah," so that by the time you are up near your high limit tone you should almost be singing "so," "lo," "dough." This enables you to find your head tone. It will not be "low" or "dough" but a good "ah." If you do not gradually curve the "ah" into an "o" toward your high tones, you will find them turning into the "a" as in hat.
In producing head tones there are two valuable exercises I would suggest.
THE VOWELS
Drop your jaw as in singing "saw"; leave the jaw dropped singing "saw," but curving your lips into an "o." You will find an "oh" with fine head resonance and an open relaxed throat.
