Head voice vs belt voice

Hi I'm trying to get a better understanding of the voices in the higher range. Am I right in thinking the head voice resonates more behind the nose towards the back of the head and the twangy belt voice resonates more in front of the nose and head and falsetto is head voice but the resonating is lifted more forward and higher in the head? In the song Ironic by Alanis Morissette is she singing in head voice during the verses and belt twang during the chorus? If thats wrong can you please give an example of a song and singer in both voices. Thank you and I love your course.

That all sounds right to me, Cindy! And yes, that's a great example. I'd say Alanis is using both head voice (or what we might call a head-dominant mix) and a breathy chest voice on the verses. And she's definitely belting with twang on the chorus.

I like to use resonance (and sensations of resonance) as a guide, but singers will feel things differently, so I try to not "prescribe" resonance/sensation too much. What you've described will ring true for most singers, in my experience! Generally head voice feels lighter and towards the back of the mouth, while belting (which usually uses mix) will give you more sensation in the front of the face (sometimes the nose, mustache area, etc). 

Hope that's helpful!

very helpful thank you

Glad to hear that, Cindy!
