I have a poor chest voice. Should I keep trying to improve it or should I just learn to use mixed/head voice for high notes?

Question

Typically I can t "belt" (ie. chest voice) notes above F#4 unless I m having an ideal vocal day. I need to be on the brink of hungry to use my chest voice for higher notes too. Due to it being very finnicky should I just focus on using mixed/head voice (even falsetto) for higher notes by thinning out the vowels, or should I keep trying to work on head voice, as frustrating as it is?

Alot of the songs I like to sing are sung by male tenor voices. I think I m a baritenor, but definitely most comfortable in the 3rd octave.

You're a baritenor?  Highly amusing.

Ask your VOCAL COACH.  In view of your choice of music as a career - ? - I'd also ask your manager.

What do you mean by mixed/head voice? No such animal. You need to take private voice lessons from a bonafide voice teacher. It can't be done on line. You have some misconceptions about singing according to the terminology you use.

I taught voice and choral music in the secondary schools of NY for over 25 years.  YOU need a good private teacher.  Your mis-conprehension of much vocal terminology tells us that you are lost - and we cannot fix this at a distance.
