    Many singers get confused about the terms head voice and falsetto.
    Often, these terms are used to mean the same thing.
    But actually, falsetto and head voice are completely different and this is a mistake I see a lot of singers make.
    So here's the difference between head voice and falsetto so you can always hear the difference!

    I took years of vocal coaching to use my natural vocals. My mom paid for my coach and I ended up paying for it after I graduated high school. My coach told me I have an amazing voice and helped me use it. 👍 I am grateful too. I have a rare movement disorder and vocal lessons helped me accept it and control it a bit.

    I always doubted if my head voice was legit or just a weird falsetto. But now I know it’s real. And I also always thought I was weird for accessing my head voice easier through the E vowel. But your video helped validate me. Thank you.

    That's a very good explanation. It's amazing how even classically trained people assume that you're singing in falsetto when you're really singing with the head voice! Confounds me. But what I usually tell people is to try using a device like a spectrogram which can analyze your voice and show you all the overtones produced. The less overtones the tendency towards falsetto. The more tones the tendency towards head voice. But then again I've heard people sing in the bass range in falsetto

      No, actually head voice is very poorly defined. Its not an actual term, people just made it up cause it feels like its coming from your head. Some people use head vocie to describe falsetto, some say it is a thicker fuller falsetto, some use it to describe mix voice . The truth is, there are 2 laryngeal mechanisms you should be concerned with, M1 (chest voice) and M2(falsetto). A "fuller" ot "thicker" or "less breathy" falsetto is STILL falsetto its just not breathy. Calling it head voice is like calling a breathy chest voice breath voice and only a fuller one chest voice. No, they are both chest voice, but one is more powerful due to more support.

      No, it is definitely much more than this. This is just a way to identify it more often. one way to tell if it is falsetto and head voice is to listen to how connected it is with the voice. If it feels otherworldly or disconnected, breathy, and shallow, then it most likely falsetto.
      If it feels natural, connected, and is strong, then it is head voice.

    Does this apply the same for girls? Or do we just have a head voice and not falsetto? Or is it still called the head voice, but there's a breathy one like falsetto and a full one just like male head voice?

  • @huss2600
    @huss2600 2 роки тому +5

    Hey Ramsay, thanks for this video. I'm not sure why falsetto is a seperate register, isn't it just a breathy headvoice? And if that's how we name registers than why can't a breathy chest voice become a new technique.
    My point is i believe Breathiness is an expressive technique or flaw not something that determines a new register; what do you think about the validity of having falsetto referred to as a register of your voice?

    • @Fr0zenPeanut
      @Fr0zenPeanut 2 роки тому +4

      I'm not Ramsay, but I think it's useful to have two words for two similar, bit still obviously distinct coordinations of vocal muscles. Btw, a breathy chest voice already has a name... whisper.

  • @AnguishForYourGreedIL
    @AnguishForYourGreedIL 5 місяців тому

    Easiest way to get head voice if you cant get it from this excersise is to do a siren up from chest voice (REMEMBER TO MOVE RESONANCE IN A SWEEPING MOTION LIKE AN OVERHAND THROW AS YOU MOVE UP) until you feel no chest vibrations, for me this was the F# below middle C. Then get used to singing in that area of your voice with that resonance placement and tone.
    Falsetto needs to be supported a specific way for it to not feel tense or wrong (or tire your voice faster), one that in itself feels indescribably wrong/different from chest voice or head voice. I can't really describe the support for it other than like your chest is being deflated
    Hope this helps somebody

    @rattlesnake2 2 місяці тому

    There’s nothing wrong with falsetto. Anyway, in my opinion they are both the same at vocal folds level. The difference you are making is in the placement of the sound (and the height of the larynx) after it is produced by the vocal folds.

      In my case I get a lot of post nasal drip which makes it very difficult to sing at times and it has to do with allergies for me. I am not sure if you do have allergies but having moisture in your mouth is better than not having moisture in your mouth.

    This is just not true. Falsetto is an outdated term for a male head voice. Now that we can actually see vocal function with cameras, voice scientists know that a male "falsetto" (head voice) is the same functionally as a female head voice. You just demonstrated a breathy head voice, then a clear one.

      C4 is middle c on the piano. That was pretty much mid register for him.
      C5 is what you probably meant…a perfect 4th above where most men top out (G4). And Pavarotti could very well hit that just as easily in chest voice as he could C4.
