Thanks for that, Belladonna and Sundance. Always good to have tutorials validated by the pros. I still lean toward making that trumpet sound as an alternative to a lip trill. It's easier for me and it works.
What I an finding with several you tube voice tutorials, especially the ones on range, is so many tend to get into very complex psycho/physio phenomena, making some attempts to explain something to we mortals, soon getting over even their own heads, then drifting into vaguery. So far, the humming, the lip trills, and the extended breath control exercises, along with that tip about turning the vocal chords on and off while exhaling seem to have had the most benefit.
