It seems unlikely to me that Duprez sang C5 in what today is considered to be 'full chest voice'. Can anyone name me a Broadway belter who doesn't mix around A4? Indeed, the register that modern tenors- who apparently sing these high notes in the same fashion- approach C5 is referred to either as 'head voice' or 'mixed voice', depending on whether or not you classify reinforced falsetto as head voice. We know from modern physiology that lowering the larynx and 'covering' (the ability that Duprez supposedly pioneered) creates stability exactly because it enables the CT muscle to elongate the vocal folds, taking pitch control away from the TA. 'Pulling chest' occurs when the CT is blocked from doing this. 2A00:23C5:E1AA:3600:1C85:B014:24D8:F7B2 (talk) 22:46, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
