Freznel with mouth open??

Hey guys: this should probably go in the beginners section, but, here it is:

I have spent 3 weeks reading and practicing Freznel, DRY and in a shallow pool. I think I have it because i can "crackle" my ears with all of the following "tests":
- with no stomach movement
- with empty lungs
- with tongue pump
- with a mouthfull of water (proves epiglotis is closed, i read..)
- my adams apple jumps up and down as I do it
- simulating yawns I also get some crackle

So, what is the problem? : I can do "my freznel" with my mouth open, pinching nose and inflating it, or pumping with my throat (addams apple bounces)

I this possible? Or have I been kidding myself all along, and am really doing Valsalva?

Thanks,
