I have Lunte's system and have talked to him quite a bit and he considers me a virtual student of the Vocalist Studio. He teaches the technqiue used by Geoff Tate of Queensryche, and the Wilson sisters from Heart. Most of them are the exact exercises (he basically took over teacher Maestro David Kyle's methods when he died, which is who taught Tate and Wilson).
Head Voice adduction is bringing the cords together, which is what you do to access head voice. Nothing new, he just has different approaches from some teachers to get you there. The system is pretty expensive obviously, but if you can afford it or some online lessons or phone consultations, i'd do that. Basically though, adduction is just the process of bringing the cords together or "zipping them up". To be in head voice though, you are adducting; if you weren't you would be in falsetto.
Baxter and Vendera are the 2 best in the world as far as im concerned though. I've been working with Baxter through video lessons since 2003 and will start lessons with Vendera in a few weeks. If nothing else, pick up Jaime's Raise Your Voice book and all of Baxter's products.
For getting into head voice, Baxter likes to keep everything neutral and very much at the same volume at first to build a voice that changes registers reflexively. Once you've got the freedom and control down, you start adducting through various exercises (my favorite is working on stacatto vowels like HE on triplets). If you get Robert's stuff, he focuses a lot on strengthening the cricothyroid muscles in your throat to adduct. If you are made of money, get stuff from all 3. If not, get Jaime's ebook on screaminglessons.com and Mark's stuff on getsigned.
