In male: You are singing high node and u are able to maintain the texture of your original voice. Then it's head voice. If its become very thin or airy as she described in higher node then it is falsetto.
This was super helpful thank you! I've heard people refer to falsetto but each time it sounded different so I had no clue which one it really was. This makes it so much clearer!
@@pizzaparkerhotdogmaguire3225 you might've misunderstood my statement. I meant to not force your voice to go for high notes, do notes that are around your range and eventually it will get higher the more you practice it and the less strain you get after every song you sing.
Yay you are literally the most useful resource for singing on UA-cam since you really teach us what is going on when we sing rather than just focusing on what we feel. Id also like to learn about the whistle register because I am a baritone and I want to know if anyone could access it.
Darling, you are absolutely incredible. I worship the ground you walk on! Finally, Head Voice and Chest Voice explained in a way that I totally and absolutely GET what is going on! I am a better singer from here on out because of you. You are the ultimate teacher and woman! 🥰
I took an online course in singing, where they taught that falsetto involves opening the vocal folds so that more air gets out. If you do that with chest voice, you whisper (breathy). So they explained that falsetto is high pitched "whispering" with sound.
I just have one question...I never really listened to Ariana Grande's songs much before but when I did I realized I kinda sing like her which makes me wonder if it's my real voice or not...
You should work on learning the proper techique and singing properly and as you will be developing it, your real voice will come out. You could be signing like her by imitation and that way you could learn wrong. For example, if your throat hurts while singing that is the best indicator you don't sing properly and that way you could damage your vocal chords. Or you could have a similar register and voice tone and that's why you feel like that. The best way to know that is by learning how to sign properly and you will then hear your real voice and you will be able to sing forever without strain or pain in the throat. :D
Wow.. I sing a lot and i love that u explain this .. I would love to learn more.. but first ill watch this video 10 more times.. I like how u teach.. I understood u easily
This is a great question. Usually mixed voice denotes when you mix your chest and head voice. I've made a video explaining this here: ua-cam.com/video/zM2GDKDLr8s/v-deo.html Hope it helps :)
omg you are... this is... just so incredibly wonderful, perfect explanation. it's so true, so confusing, and it will never make any sense. Especially in relation to my voice since i'm a transgender girl (but with a boys voice, thx. teststerone...) but I have trained "falsetto" so much that it's basically my "head voice" kinda... I have the full Alto range in that muscle group (the cricothyroid I believe it is called, compared to the "chest voice" thyroarytenoid) I'm also transgender though and my speaking voice still needs plenty of work, but that's a completely different topic about the thin/thick true folds and more xD
Dear Ronja, Great videos, I've been learning so much! Do you have tips on how to figure out ideal placement when singing in mix register? Actually, it'd be wonderful to have a full explanation of how the mix register works, best exercises to achieve it, and how do we know when we're successfully singing in mix register?
I'm female but have unusually thick vocal chords due to high testosterone, so my voice has both male and female qualities. Very generally: in pitch it's male, in resonance it's female. My range being roughly C2-G4, up to around F3 I do best in chest voice, and then up to around D4 in head voice. My head voice is thinner because I haven't used it regularly for the past 15 years or so, so I kinda forgot how to execute it properly, but otherwise it sounds like my regular voice, just higher and a bit less gritty. However, if I really push it beyond that point, I can take a few extra notes in a really squeaky way, and that's what I think of as my falsetto. And like I know that there are men who have that distinct difference between their head voice and obvious falsetto as well. Take for example Freddie Mercury. A lot of his higher notes were clearly head voice, but not that squeaky kind, except when he went really high up. Perhaps especially tenors and men with very wide vocal ranges have that ability. Me and my extra 3 notes that barely pass the middle C isn't much to brag about lol. But almost half of my range is clean head voice and I sincerely doubt that would all count as falsetto, just because I'm in the male range with thicker vocal chords. It could also be that some men just aren't very skilled in how to sing strong and cleanly with a head voice. Head voice is a skill that women just generally use far more often. Something to do with head voice generally coming off as more feminine (in speech, that is) I think, plus being more comfortable and practical to use for a higher range. That's just my speculations though.
When I think of falsetto "breathy" The beautiful Ashanti comes to mind. What do you think? Also are FALSETTO singers and other types of singers born or made?
Hi umm I had a hard time singing with music.... My voice is fine when I sing without music,but when I sing with music my voice completely changes and I can't get the tones right .... Do you have any tips?
I had the same problem. Sometimes you’re concentrating on the music and not on your vocals. Just try to listen to your voice while you’re singing with music (sorry for my bad English)
Sometimes when I go from chest voice to head voice, the head voice sounds more like falsetto. Not what I wanted. I find it tinny, borderline screechy. Also, I've been singing all my life and now at 79 years old, I feel I have too much vibratto when I hold notes. Is it too late to control?
Hi.. I am interested which type of voice did Deniece Williams used in the latter part of her song Healing.. which says... "Feeellllliiiiinngggggg.... Lord I Know...." Is that falsetto or headvoice or non of the above 😊 Thank you in anticipation for your response.. 🙏
I have been singing for a few years, and I no longer think of the voice in terms of distinct registers. Instead, I think of it terms of an infinite spectrum of coordinations from the lightest and breathiest falsetto all the way to the heaviest and thickest chest voice and then everything in between. Why do I think of it this way? Well, because in a well-trained voice, no two notes in your range are sung with exact same coordination. As you raise or lower your pitch, your vocal folds and vocal tract are making slight adjustments along the way. I am a tenor. My passaggio falls somewhere between G4 and A4. If I were to think of the voice in terms of only the four distinct register, then it would be safe to say the the octave from C3 to C4 falls within my “chest voice” range. However, I know for a fact that I do not sing C4 with the same degree of thickness and the same exact resonant qualities as I do C3. If I did, C4 would sound shouty. In order to sing C4 in a pleasing way, I have to shed some of that weight and change the acoustics of my vocal tract slightly. For me, it’s all psychological. If I think of the voice as being divided into distinct registers, I find that limiting and in fact counterproductive. If I think of the voice in terms of a spectrum of coordinations, I am able to listen to my body and take care in developing balanced coordination across my entire range.
Can YOU tell me what "twang" means ? English is not native to me and so many speak of "twang", but I can't find a translation. SO what is meant with that.
Si voz de cabeza es un término impropio pues la cabeza no es un resonador, como tampoco lo es el pecho, y falsete no es aceptado para denominar a todo un modo de emisión vocal, entonces este que es la contraparte del modo de emisión fundamental (voz natural o modal) debe tener una denominación distinta. Yo propongo el de modo de armonicos, pues el falsete o voz de cabeza al anular la fundamental opera sobre los armonicos naturales de la voz.
I think you got your head voice and falsetto backwards. I was looking at it on a spectrogram and your head voice had few overtones. Your falsetto had a lot of overtones! I prefer to use science to tell which voice one uses or not. Chest voice has a love of overtones as well. So it makes sense that falsetto would be lacking the amount of overtones.
can you please tell/teach me how I supposed to do the high notes in Step Back GOT the beat without switching to the m2 high note.. bcs in that song i think they use their chest voice but i keep switching to my head voice..
I love this! I'm a guy with a pretty deep voice and I've not really used my voice properly ever. Recently I discovered that I have the ability to go to a higher register but trying to figure what sounds natural/stupid/whyshouldIcarewhatpeoplethink/head/thinandreedy I'm finding pretty difficult. Also discovered I have some pretty deep conditioning when it comes to bothering people and being overheard. Stops me singing immediately, stops me being loud enough to understand how I'm singing. Any suggestions? other than saving up and renting a cabin in the wilderness for a week to sing louder.
I love your videos and I am from India I wanna go for the next singing shows in u.s and wanna become a pop singer but my financial condition is not good and please do you have a advice ?? I don't want to give up on my dreams .
Falsetto is a fake or cheating type of voice. It allows you to sing higher because as my classical voice instructor explained in graduate school, you're pinching the center of your vocal cords together which allows a shorter portion of your vocal cords above and below it to vibrate, producing a double higher pitched sound. So I can sound like a 60 year woman if I want or push my lips together while I do it and make a flute, recorder, harmonica, or violin sound for fun. (I used to mess with my ESL kids and pretend to play music on a pen, and they couldn't figure out how I did it.) And falsetto does have a place even in classical voice, and it's not wrong to use it according to my professors. However, ideally, you want to produce an upper register voice, or head voice as people call it, because it has better resonance and just sounds prettier. I'm a baritone, so I top out usually at G4 and bottom out at E2 or E3. But I can do G5 in falsetto, which is why I don't do songs that would require me to use falsetto, because I don't feel like that is my true voice.
We r indian...we dnt need to use falsetto..becoz our rich indian classical music practise can make d voice more beautiful....whole world appreciate our indian classical music...and its practises...m also a classical music voice trainer...i used to my student to sang there original voice..thank u so much...🤝
Does this mean that someone could have a raspy M1 singing voice but a clear M2 singing voice? If so, could you learn how to transition between the two without cracking?
2:56 Is it "more like a woman"?? (the lyrics?) This is very rare to have the Bee Gees honourly mentioned as not singing in falsetto. Did I understand correctly, at all: Bee Gees not falsetto, headvoice, correct.
I have a certain habit when I go high notes I fall into my falsetto or head voice, can you show a certain exercise for gaining high notes for chest voice.
After watching this video I realised I have a natural falsetto voice, I'm not a singer though I do try on my own channel for the first controlled time....LOL
I'm new to this channel, I want to ask if you have a video about notes because I'm not knowledgeable when it comes to notes, I just know high and and low and nothing else. I just sing with my normal voice, I can go lower but not higher.
I am a girl from india and I have a low voice and I didn't know anything about singing but I just normally sing in m1 voice because that's my real voice but as many people know that 99% of indian females singers voices are m3 like so I was forced to sing like this in everywhere but I can't and everybody told me I can't sing because singing in m3 makes me breathless so I wanted to know if I am born cursed or that people don't know anything but now I know I was right that singing in any voice is also called singing not cursed voice
I am still confused as a man but I am pretty sure when I try to sing higher I am always unconsciously using the falsetto even I really want to exercise my head voice
This video gives the misconception that only men can falsetto when this is not true. It's just more noticeable. Women can and do falsetto. All people have a head voice and a falsetto. It's how yodeling works.
im so confused, my current vocal coach and many before have told me that I have falsetto and headvoice and worked on both of them. But everytime i get a clean and nice high sound , people say "falsetto"... so I didnt understand, how come men can have headvoice and falsetto, but it's only falsetto!?
Because sadly many teachers are singers who are trying to explain what they think/do but it’s so open to interpretation there’s no uniform answer until you look at the science. Head and falsetto are different but actually you only have one voice. One set of viable vocal folds = one voice. Keep It simple and don’t get hung up on labels xx
I really don't like the definition of falsetto being a "breathy head voice". You can sing throughout your range in a way that's more or less breathy. You don't give your chest voice a different name when you let more air through so why would you re-name the head voice, some people going as far as calling it a completely different register? I don't buy it lol
Yes, depending on the school of vocal training there are at least 4 registers (5 if you could vocal fry but you can do vocal fry all the way up) If you put your hand on your chest and say "Hey" in your speaking voice, that's chest...if you put your finger under your nose and say "nnnyay" really whiney, that's pharyngeal register...then if you say "whoooooo" like Rick Flare etc, that's head voice... there is also whistle voice which is waaaay up there above head voice. Falsetto in most vocal circles now is classified where the vocal chords are disconnectet giving a more breathy sound but it depends on the schools or genres.
Right now I'm working on my head voice with my vocal coach, I can't help but to eventually force or strain notes higher than A#4. Also, no matter how hard I try and practice, I can't lower my volume, smooth my voice and go to the fifth octave without breaking into a whistle voice. What do you suggest I do?
If u do it for long time..its make ur voice harsh...and u cant sing long time...if u practise very early morning practise with indian classical music voice practise..u just see that ur voice will be better and sweet...
In short, there is no head voice in men, contrary to the popular belief, even among the opera singers. Then there is no mixed voice either. The upper part of the normal voice is only a shift of resonances in the mouth.
I'm sorry but there is a CLEAR difference in falsetto and head voice (kopfstimme, voix de tête etc) and falsetto particularly in men. The word itself means false in Italian, so a false voice. It has to do with a different vibration pattern and parts of the vocal folds that vibrate. Yes, falsetto is 'in the head' register, but it's hardly the same as head voice.
a female explaining -giving examples about falsetto is more confusing because the quality of the voice doesnt change much as compared to a male doing a falsetto. I would say that your bee gees version sounds more like head voice than a falsetto, whereas mickey mouse sounds more falsetto to me.
Listen to Dimash Kudaibergen, he can sing so much better than Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston, also whistle notes. His vocal range is unbeliavable and technique impeccable
It just depends on terminology... head voice and falsetto are in the same register, it just depends whether it is connected (head voice) or disconnected (falsetto)
My daughter figured out whistle tone instead of learning how to whistle. She got frustrated not being able to whistle so she’d fake it by doing whistle tone. She can still do it because she used it so much.
Teacher, is falsetto somehow relates to the clearest voice we have when going from lower to high tones? I'm totally new to singing. Thank you so much for amazing lessons ^^
Hi Chanduni, Thanks for your question. As I explained in the video falsetto has different definitions but, If you are referring to falsetto as the insisting head voice tone then, yes it could be related to the sound quality when you mix from lower to higher notes. Good resonance, which can often has that insisting tone, promotes good mixing when moving between registers. This is a bit of a complex topic. I did my best to try and explain it in writing. Hope it makes sense :)
@@singgeek Sorry no. If you can increase the tone in a connected way, it can't be falsetto or head voice, since the latter is a different vibration mode (falsetto = false voice.) Here is exactly where the confusion lies. There is no magic higher voice apart from falsetto, that is, a breathy and low volume voice. I never heard the term falsetto for the upper normal voice, in contrast to the term head voice. It should not be used either, in none context, since that adds to the confusion.
@@peterbernhard7415 There is no way for the falsetto proper. For the higher range of the normal voice, it is simply a shift of the resonance, or placement.
This is easily the best video I've seen on UA-cam I've seen on this topic. I've been confused for a long time on the difference between head voice and falsetto, and I think this video does a good job at acknowledging people us falsetto to mean different things - hence the confusion.
In male:
You are singing high node and u are able to maintain the texture of your original voice. Then it's head voice.
If its become very thin or airy as she described in higher node then it is falsetto.
Thank you this is just what I need
This is a really simple, helpful explanation, thank you.
LMFAO IN MALE 😭😭😭😭
Thanks, this covered everything I need to know
No, there is no upper register apart from falsetto = head voice.
It becomes extra clear when you explain. That's so impressive 😄😄
Hi Prénom , I'm so happy to hear that you like the explanation :) Have an awesome weekend!
Your explanation is so much clearer than so many other vocal coaches here on UA-cam. Thank you!
This was super helpful thank you! I've heard people refer to falsetto but each time it sounded different so I had no clue which one it really was. This makes it so much clearer!
Hi Alice, It makes me so happy to hear that you could use the clarification. This is exactly why I made the video :)
I cant control my voice. Whenever i sing, it became breathy falsetto. 😆 🤣 😂 i hate my voice
Don't fight against your voice. It will eventually get better if you fight with it.
@@Slash1e So you don't want to get the voice better? If you don't fight it?
@@pizzaparkerhotdogmaguire3225 you might've misunderstood my statement. I meant to not force your voice to go for high notes, do notes that are around your range and eventually it will get higher the more you practice it and the less strain you get after every song you sing.
everyone hate their own voice 😓
Want to hear that bad😂❤
Yay you are literally the most useful resource for singing on UA-cam since you really teach us what is going on when we sing rather than just focusing on what we feel.
Id also like to learn about the whistle register because I am a baritone and I want to know if anyone could access it.
Hi
Hi
Your facebook id name please
one day i will sing with you
Darling, you are absolutely incredible. I worship the ground you walk on! Finally, Head Voice and Chest Voice explained in a way that I totally and absolutely GET what is going on! I am a better singer from here on out because of you. You are the ultimate teacher and woman! 🥰
Oh my god i just asked the difference in the comment of the last video and you made a whole goddamn video on it . I love you so much 💜💜
Hi Punidhavelu, Yes I'm so happy that you saw it! It was a really great question :)
I would really wanna know more about whistle register and how to achieve it.
I took an online course in singing, where they taught that falsetto involves opening the vocal folds so that more air gets out. If you do that with chest voice, you whisper (breathy). So they explained that falsetto is high pitched "whispering" with sound.
To me, that is right. Falsetto does not have proper cord closure and is an airy sound (not recommended).
Great video, specially i like the part that u add numbers in each registers so we can see which one is the deepest or lightest. 🧡🧡🧡
I just have one question...I never really listened to Ariana Grande's songs much before but when I did I realized I kinda sing like her which makes me wonder if it's my real voice or not...
Probably not maybe, a lot of times people imitate a singer they liste to much not on porpuse ofc
You should work on learning the proper techique and singing properly and as you will be developing it, your real voice will come out.
You could be signing like her by imitation and that way you could learn wrong. For example, if your throat hurts while singing that is the best indicator you don't sing properly and that way you could damage your vocal chords.
Or you could have a similar register and voice tone and that's why you feel like that. The best way to know that is by learning how to sign properly and you will then hear your real voice and you will be able to sing forever without strain or pain in the throat. :D
When she started hyping up a band that used falsetto, I was hoping she was going to say the Beach Boys
Your videos are such beautifully done.. simple and clear... God Bless!
Wow.. I sing a lot and i love that u explain this .. I would love to learn more.. but first ill watch this video 10 more times.. I like how u teach.. I understood u easily
-By the way, do u know the term for female vocals from india? Very high but soft sound. I ask because its my falseto or my relax voice.
What do people mean when they say "mixed voice"? Thank u, love your videos ❤
This is a great question. Usually mixed voice denotes when you mix your chest and head voice. I've made a video explaining this here: ua-cam.com/video/zM2GDKDLr8s/v-deo.html Hope it helps :)
Please go into details about the 4 registers.
Hi Victor, Awesome! I will definitely do that :)
Yes please! I would love to know about the fourth register! And mixed voice as well!
it would ve been nice to hear about the origins of the term falsetto, wich litterally means small `false` voice
omg you are... this is... just so incredibly wonderful, perfect explanation. it's so true, so confusing, and it will never make any sense.
Especially in relation to my voice since i'm a transgender girl (but with a boys voice, thx. teststerone...) but I have trained "falsetto" so much that it's basically my "head voice" kinda...

I'm also transgender though and my speaking voice still needs plenty of work, but that's a completely different topic about the thin/thick true folds and more xD
You're so adorable ❤️💕💕

Actually, it'd be wonderful to have a full explanation of how the mix register works, best exercises to achieve it, and how do we know when we're successfully singing in mix register?
Hi! Could you do a video on how to increase one's vocal range next?
I'm female but have unusually thick vocal chords due to high testosterone, so my voice has both male and female qualities. Very generally: in pitch it's male, in resonance it's female. My range being roughly C2-G4, up to around F3 I do best in chest voice, and then up to around D4 in head voice.

Did you create a video for all 4 registers in detail? I would love to see that!
I love how your eyes smile 😅
i usually ask if they want a breathy falsetto or a tonal falsetto but idk if thats proper
Sometimes when I go from chest voice to head voice, the head voice sounds more like falsetto. Not what I wanted. I find it tinny, borderline screechy. Also, I've been singing all my life and now at 79 years old, I feel I have too much vibratto when I hold notes. Is it too late to control?

Head voice and falsetto are fundamentally different. I recommend you to watch some videos by Joseph Shore.
Thank you so much
You are so welcome Akansha! And thanks for watching :)

(Sorry for grammatical mistakes)

That can actually be if you're like a soprano, got a teacher that always speaks in her head voice and it's damn annoying
2:56 Is it "more like a woman"?? (the lyrics?) This is very rare to have the Bee Gees honourly mentioned as not singing in falsetto. Did I understand correctly, at all: Bee Gees not falsetto, headvoice, correct.
if a man's falsetto is higher than headvoice, why isn't it the same for a woman in your example at 3.36?
I have a certain habit when I go high notes I fall into my falsetto or head voice, can you show a certain exercise for gaining high notes for chest voice.
try developing your mixed voice
@@tt-rw1kj thanks
After watching this video I realised I have a natural falsetto voice, I'm not a singer though I do try on my own channel for the first controlled time....LOL
can u also talk about riffs and give some excersices on it
Thank you! 😃
I'm new to this channel, I want to ask if you have a video about notes because I'm not knowledgeable when it comes to notes, I just know high and and low and nothing else. I just sing with my normal voice, I can go lower but not higher.
very love it😊😊
I can't sing falsetto's, but I have very good control over my mids and lows. Do I have to see an EMT because I had good control over my falsetto
you are may teacher
Thank you groza :) I'm happy to be your teacher!
Thank you 😊😊💕
Hi. So what physically happens when you sing in falsetto. Does the larynx move up into the head?
I have a question please. What is the term for the action in which you transition into your falsetto?
I am a girl from india and I have a low voice and I didn't know anything about singing but I just normally sing in m1 voice because that's my real voice but as many people know that 99% of indian females singers voices are m3 like so I was forced to sing like this in everywhere but I can't and everybody told me I can't sing because singing in m3 makes me breathless so I wanted to know if I am born cursed or that people don't know anything but now I know I was right that singing in any voice is also called singing not cursed voice
Is it hard to sing in head voice? When i do nothing i sing in it and vecame basically a pro at it
She's definitely from France ❤😂im a new subscriber...like my comment 😂
I like falsetto like Michael Jackson, Bee Gees and Earth Wind and Fire, they are not easy to make.
I heard falsetto is not included in vocal range and not connected like head voice is , it’s more flippy and thin, breathy.
I am still confused as a man but I am pretty sure when I try to sing higher I am always unconsciously using the falsetto even I really want to exercise my head voice
This video gives the misconception that only men can falsetto when this is not true. It's just more noticeable. Women can and do falsetto. All people have a head voice and a falsetto. It's how yodeling works.
How to do whistle notes?
im so confused, my current vocal coach and many before have told me that I have falsetto and headvoice and worked on both of them. But everytime i get a clean and nice high sound , people say "falsetto"... so I didnt understand, how come men can have headvoice and falsetto, but it's only falsetto!?
Because sadly many teachers are singers who are trying to explain what they think/do but it’s so open to interpretation there’s no uniform answer until you look at the science.
Head and falsetto are different but actually you only have one voice. One set of viable vocal folds = one voice. Keep
It simple and don’t get hung up on labels xx
I really don't like the definition of falsetto being a "breathy head voice". You can sing throughout your range in a way that's more or less breathy. You don't give your chest voice a different name when you let more air through so why would you re-name the head voice, some people going as far as calling it a completely different register? I don't buy it lol
Okay I understand how they sound but I don't know how to do it lol🦝👏🏼
do men have head voice?
Yes, depending on the school of vocal training there are at least 4 registers (5 if you could vocal fry but you can do vocal fry all the way up) If you put your hand on your chest and say "Hey" in your speaking voice, that's chest...if you put your finger under your nose and say "nnnyay" really whiney, that's pharyngeal register...then if you say "whoooooo" like Rick Flare etc, that's head voice... there is also whistle voice which is waaaay up there above head voice. Falsetto in most vocal circles now is classified where the vocal chords are disconnectet giving a more breathy sound but it depends on the schools or genres.
Right now I'm working on my head voice with my vocal coach, I can't help but to eventually force or strain notes higher than A#4. Also, no matter how hard I try and practice, I can't lower my volume, smooth my voice and go to the fifth octave without breaking into a whistle voice. What do you suggest I do?
If u do it for long time..its make ur voice harsh...and u cant sing long time...if u practise very early morning practise with indian classical music voice practise..u just see that ur voice will be better and sweet...
In short, there is no head voice in men, contrary to the popular belief, even among the opera singers. Then there is no mixed voice either. The upper part of the normal voice is only a shift of resonances in the mouth.
I’m a male and mine sounds like head voice more than falsetto 😭😣
Whistle please
I'm sorry but there is a CLEAR difference in falsetto and head voice (kopfstimme, voix de tête etc) and falsetto particularly in men. The word itself means false in Italian, so a false voice. It has to do with a different vibration pattern and parts of the vocal folds that vibrate. Yes, falsetto is 'in the head' register, but it's hardly the same as head voice.
😲😍
3:36 that sounds like mixed or chest
Thought so too
Eventually one of those 3 definitions of falsetto will be the accepted one by the industry and it will be called truesetto.
a female explaining -giving examples about falsetto is more confusing because the quality of the voice doesnt change much as compared to a male doing a falsetto. I would say that your bee gees version sounds more like head voice than a falsetto, whereas mickey mouse sounds more falsetto to me.
Listen to Dimash Kudaibergen, he can sing so much better than Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston, also whistle notes. His vocal range is unbeliavable and technique impeccable
Oh! So a falsetto is when you do high notes but as if you're making fun of someone. 😆

The only real falsetto is "in the jungle".
Its a gift im out😅
Females DO NOT have falsetto!
It just depends on terminology... head voice and falsetto are in the same register, it just depends whether it is connected (head voice) or disconnected (falsetto)
This was not useful.
My voice straight goes to falsetto and not head voice. I don't know why it does that though.
My daughter figured out whistle tone instead of learning how to whistle. She got frustrated not being able to whistle so she’d fake it by doing whistle tone. She can still do it because she used it so much.
one day i will sing with you
Teacher, is falsetto somehow relates to the clearest voice we have when going from lower to high tones?
I'm totally new to singing. Thank you so much for amazing lessons ^^
Hi Chanduni, Thanks for your question. As I explained in the video falsetto has different definitions but, If you are referring to falsetto as the insisting head voice tone then, yes it could be related to the sound quality when you mix from lower to higher notes. Good resonance, which can often has that insisting tone, promotes good mixing when moving between registers. This is a bit of a complex topic. I did my best to try and explain it in writing. Hope it makes sense :)
Thank you..... of course I got it now ^^
@@singgeek Sorry no. If you can increase the tone in a connected way, it can't be falsetto or head voice, since the latter is a different vibration mode (falsetto = false voice.) Here is exactly where the confusion lies. There is no magic higher voice apart from falsetto, that is, a breathy and low volume voice. I never heard the term falsetto for the upper normal voice, in contrast to the term head voice. It should not be used either, in none context, since that adds to the confusion.
@@clmasse Would it be correct to say there is a way to continue and extend your normal voice into the range of falsetto, which is called head voice?
@@peterbernhard7415 There is no way for the falsetto proper. For the higher range of the normal voice, it is simply a shift of the resonance, or placement.
I thought Falsetto only for men..women have head voice and whistle..is that correct?, based on your explanation, woman does have falsetto too..?😶😶😶
This is easily the best video I've seen on UA-cam I've seen on this topic. I've been confused for a long time on the difference between head voice and falsetto, and I think this video does a good job at acknowledging people us falsetto to mean different things - hence the confusion.
I am still confused after seeing the video... Even more than before 😭
