There are not enough Google hits on the analogy between "changing vocal registers" and "changing gears" (please prove me wrong!). I think good singers can blend them seemlessly, but I'm not sure.

My vocal range is approximately the same as the range of my classical guitar. I have a distinct "chest voice", "head voice" and falsetto.

Further, I can produce qualities that I would call "nasality", "breathiness" and "screaminess". I would like to understand how they are produced physically...

Tangent: have you ever considered that onomotopoeias should be related to your mouth configuration? e.g. physical systems that produce "ffff" sounds are probably similar to what happens in your mouth when you pronounce the voiceless labiodental [f].

You may want to look into Oscar Saenger as a start. He was a vocal coach for may opera singers in the early 1900s.

Link to a book that has an interview with him here: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/15446/15446-8.txt
