It becomes extra clear when you explain. That's so impressive 😄😄

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.

I cant control my voice. Whenever i sing, it became breathy falsetto. 😆 🤣 😂 i hate my voice

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.

Your explanation is so much clearer than so many other vocal coaches here on KZfaq. 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!

This is easily the best video I've seen on KZfaq 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.

All of your videos are extremely descriptive and informative/clarifying. To me, both falsetto and headvoice are part of m2. Falsetto is just a lack of vocal closure aka weak/untrained m2.

Wow, your charisma and enthusiasm while explaning the voice and all around singing is amazing. Its always fun to watch a video of you and i´m instandly influenzed by your positivity. Not to forget your knowlege and professional backround. Im glad to found your channel. Please keep on doing this shit :)

Your videos are such beautifully done.. simple and clear... God Bless!

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! 🥰

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 ^^

one day i will sing with you

Your videos are amazing! Please make an in depth video on the different registers.

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 💜💜

Thank you for this video! It was all very clearly laid out and explained!

Never heard such a nice explanation before. Thank you 🙂

Thank you so much for the awesome tutorials, I’d definitely appreciate it if you go through four registers in detail. Thank you 🌸

Yay you are literally the most useful resource for singing on KZfaq 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.

thank you so much for clearing up the confusion!

Your way of explaining things in this and your other videos is really exceptionally good! I’m a new fan!!! Do you have a video planned on finding vibrato for those of us looking for it😆?

Hi It's me. I wanted to know this topic from very long and clarify this. So thanks a lot for this video 💕💕💕💕 and also...... Watching your other videos has helped me a lot . Lots of love to you 😊😊😊😊

There are really awesome. Thank you so much. Your way of explaining things is really awesome. :) Definitely my favorite singing teacher. :) Thank you.

I love the way you teaching 😉

Thanks alot. I've learnt so much from u recently.

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. 🧡🧡🧡

Can you make a video on mixed voice? Your amazing in explaining difficult to explain details.

lots of cool info , great video , thanks

First, I appreciate very much the way you teach! Well, I am a man, a bass, and I can clearly distinguish my falsetto range from my full voice range. I can even make the same note (some notes) as falsetto and as full voice. There must be something about the vocal cords that explains that... By the way, congratulations!

very informative and great monstera

Hi, I've just happened across your channel and found the videos I've watched up to now informative and helpful, thank you. I'm a male singer and I've been researching into how singers like Myles Kennedy and Bruce Dickinson reach the notes that they do and have seen the term Bel Canto used quite a lot. Is this just another term used instead of falsetto or would you say that is it something different?

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

Thanks for this! Yesterday we are on a music club practice, one guy told me to sing in my head voice and I thought I was already so I was really down thinking I dont have proper control over my voice, and on the other hand one opera guy singer told me (on the same song) that I have a good falsetto which I didnt understood. So basically, I guess the other guy was just not liking the way I sang it in my head voice.

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 have found people referring to falsetto as the high notes with lower intensity and there is almost no mixture of chest voice. In normal male head voice, there's often mixing of head voice.

Thank you ❤️

I would really wanna know more about whistle register and how to achieve it.

You're so adorable ❤️💕💕 Thanks for the explanation.... it'll help a lot.

I love how your eyes smile 😅

Did you create a video for all 4 registers in detail? I would love to see that!

Hi! Could you do a video on how to increase one's vocal range next?

Thank you! 😃

Never had an explanation make perfect sense while absolutely confusing me at the same time. 😂😂 The human voice is very interesting.

i was really bad at singing now i am really good everyone says i am good at singing thanks to you

Thank you so much

This is out of topic but in Wendy's pre chorus in Psycho, was that a falsetto or a head voice? It sounds airy and shrilled but people say it's Head voice

Anatomically, the human voice (all genders) has two muscle functions: the low register (where most people speak), and the high register - in classical singing the registers are called chest voice and falsetto. These are the only two separate muscle functions that exist in the voice - subsequently, there are only two registers. Head voice is when you coordinate these two registers in the region of about F4-C5. Head voice is not a register (separate muscle function), it's a coordination of the chest voice and falsetto. Pure falsetto can only be sung on the vowels "oo" and "ee". If you change to "ah" it will become a mixed voice. Pure falsetto is not breathy. All other "registers" are just variations on the two muscle functions of the voice, e g whistle register is falsetto, where the vocal folds are tightly squeezed by the neck muscles (which in classical singing is a big no no) and a great sub-glottic pressure is applied to actually make a whistle sound through the vocal folds.

Please can you make a detailed explanation on the various voices you mentioned?

very love it😊😊

Thank you ma'am it was very helpful 🙏🏻💙🤍

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 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 have a question please. What is the term for the action in which you transition into your falsetto?

wowwow you video quality is sooo clear on 360 😱

Uhm teacher can I ask you something, Is it normal that your face feels some little vibrations after you sing? (Sorry for grammatical mistakes)

Ohh i need tp re-watch to make ir clearer hehe, new fam here 😁😇

very loved it

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 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...

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

Hi. So what physically happens when you sing in falsetto. Does the larynx move up into the head?

You speak so nicely! Thanks a lot for these helpful contents. Could you please give me any suggestion about a problem of mine? I spoke in a very low pitch for some months. Now I discovered that my voice isn’t normal, it changed. I don't feel good while speaking. It would be very helpful if you uploaded a video on this issue.

What do people mean when they say "mixed voice"? Thank u, love your videos ❤

Ive heard so many confusing and conflicting definitions of falsetto vs headvoice. Total agreement with what youre saying - there are multiple camps

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.

Thanks! I am learning belting with my singing teacher, would you define that as the insisting falsetto sound? Or twang? If not please can you do a video on it, I'd love to have your explanation!

Yes I think I can falsetto. Ask? Is falsetto only in high notes or both high and low?

I discovered vocal fry accidentally when I was about seven. Drove my second grade teacher crazy, because I wouldn't stop making the sound. Like spending your whole day with a Tuvan throat singer.

Can you do mixed voice. I sometimes confuse it with falsetto

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

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?

How to sing riffs with your head voice? I always enter falsetto whenever I try to sing riffs or tbh I’m not even sure if I’m singing from my head voice or falsetto! Please help

Super cute ❤

Please go into details about the 4 registers.

Gracias niña hermosa!!!!

Can you do mixed voice next. I sometimes confuse it with falsetto😢

Here's my question: As I've gotten older I've worked (successfully) on getting to higher notes, head voice-wise, but where falsetto used to be effortless for me, now I can barely sing in the lowest part of my falsetto--it's very weak. Is this an indicator of straining my voice at some point, or is this just an age thing, or what?

Nice voice good

Head voice is basically just a register you feel more in your face and throat right?

What do you call the voice i use to sing over an orchestra without a microphone?

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 .

Please make this 4 voices in detail

Super

can u also talk about riffs and give some excersices on it

it would ve been nice to hear about the origins of the term falsetto, wich litterally means small `false` voice

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.

i would like to sing a falesetto like ariana grande. how i can learn that? thanks

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.. 🙏

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?

Why is my head voice range is C5 to C7. C6 to C7 is whistle tone right? Plss answer this question. Thank you

This was great to clear up what others understand about falsetto. Makes sense because I was fed up of people saying "I like your falsetto" and, to me, it wasn't. It was just head voice. I'm on the camp that head voice is connected and falsetto is disconnected. This was a good video to help me understand the other camps. Do you ever discuss the Pharyngeal register between chest and head?

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.

closed vocal folds- head voice/ open vocal folds - falsetto (countertenors are actually baritones, the deeper the voice, the heavier it is for them to close- so deeper voices`folds mostly dont close 100%- also when speaking,deep voices sound often huskier)- BUT artistically, you can also sing husky and with falsetto and breathy, when having a good closing (like Dusty Springfield f.ex)- its style

can u explain more about the registers...plssss

Hey i hope you respond but ive been doing my research as well. Im more confused after watching this because you dont explain mix voice which is under head voice i feel mix voice is m2 also its still a register for the average singer while whistle tones should be m4 not really required to learn as much as mix is

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.

Is it hard to sing in head voice? When i do nothing i sing in it and vecame basically a pro at it

Mam, I have a harsh voice..I cannot take high pitch with my voice, if I take high pitch, it will song awkward..so should I use false voice? Pls help

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?

As a male, I understand Falsetto to be 'singing above my bridge area without vocal folds connecting' - I've always been able to do this. It's airy in sound. Head Voice - Is 'singing above my bridge with vocal folds connected' - I've had to practise to achieve this. It's a much stronger sound. The Bee Gees were singing in Head Voice. It's too strong sounding to be falsetto which is airy and is a mode that is not recommended to sing in (it dries the folds out quickly).
