Sygyt, don't be mislead, they are completely different techniques.
My question about the sygyt came about because I hear some people describe using the tip of the tongue and some saying make a small opening in the side behind the teeth.
And some sample clips of sygyt I have heard have the person making an eeeeeeeee or errrr sound and I don't see how that's possible if the tongue is sealed against the roof of the mouth except for a whole in the side.

Compare the appearance of the "folds brought together for voicing" (normal phonation) with the greatly constricted opening in the sygyt video, where it is nearly impossible to see the vocal folds.
The video does a pretty good job of illustrating the constriction, and the movement of the epiglottis with the melody, this movement being generated by it's attachment to the root of the tongue (the gnarly lumpy stuff near the bottom of the screen).
For example, in a band situation I perform sygyt more than kargyraa, as it cuts better through a band, or with didges, as opposed to kargyraa which will muddy things up if there are bass, drums, and other lower frequency source instruments.

 Linguistics Brown Bag -- Xöömei
The singer emphasizes or reinforces certain harmonics or overtones in the voice, while muting others, with the result that he or she seems to be singing two or more distinct pitches at the same time.
In the sygyt style, the fundamental drone generally lies somewhere in the comfortable middle range of the voice, while the 'melody' consists of whistle-like reinforced harmonics several octaves above that.
