    3 things: increased breath pressure, lifting of the soft palate/blocking off the nasal passages, and good muscle strength in the glottis to keep the folds pressed together under increased breath pressure.

    Your larynx needs to be low, your pharynx needs to be open and your vocal tract must be dilated to 1/6 the size of the pharyngeal opening.

    The fouth comes from vowel covering/modification, where bright vowels are modified to darker vowels as the pitch increases.

    To do this realistically requires practice and guidance of an experienced professional to develop the corerect low larynx/balance between breath pressure and glottal pressure required to get a ringing sound with vibrato. You really cannot learn it on your own without risking vocal damage.
