Agreed. This method takes alot of practice and effort at least in the beginning. I think what the OP was intending to show was that it can be done without engaging the services of a voice therapist and/or surgery. And on that note I agree with her.

Honestly some of the very best voices I've heard are people who have not gone to any kind of voice therapist and done it themselves. Now I am not saying you can't get a fantastic voice through professional training. I am guessing there are just more people who don't have or wish to spend the money.

Pushing up and back on my adam's apple doesn't change my voice, but it does hurt. But placing my finger above it and pushing upward does, anyone else?

Just printed the article, will get my female voice done tonight. Then me and Elvis will retire to the east wing of my compound for a relaxing night cap. Thank you... Thank you very muuuuch!   

I've heard a lot of people suggesting finding a feminine timbre in falsetto, then lowering the pitch until you cross back into your modal register. the idea is you keep the same shape in your modal voice that you had in falsetto.

I recently came across a great technique that works wonders for me, by just adding one element to the technique above. When I lower my falsetto all the way, I start whispering in my girly-sounding falsetto, and without stopping I switch into my regular register, all the while keeping the same voicebox shape. The whispering really helps cross over the passagio. Hope that helps!

Maybe thats my issue with limited breathing while doing this. My muscles are not use to this change yet and will need to adapt.  Do you have any tips that you've discovered?

So much to learn 

I did find something that was a bit helpful in getting some more control of it. If you make a sound (just humming or something) when you try to move the voice box up you can feel the source of the vibrations move or atleast I can, the sound also changes when you do it and it helped me find the position and go back to it easier.

Yes it sounds silly sometimes and I do spend a lot of time giggling at the silly sounds I make myself but I guess that's part of it.

Thats not a bad idea at all! Advice taken.
