@BlvdesArschloch ok, wait a minute?! Thanks but, lets just settle on perhaps inspiration. Glad you like it, I like it too... I love being the guy that points out the white elephants... Its fun.
@michelegambini I am so happy you have found this video as a means to unlock the confusion of singing for you. Falsetto is a vocal mode, characterized by an open glottis, wind in the phonation and placed in the head resonance... "head voice" is the register that vocal modes of your choice phonate out of. Confusion around this is a HUGE problem in this business! BTW, I am a rock singer as an artist, but as a coach, TVS techniques are for all styles of singing.
@infynit Ok... again, my video neither argues against or for your point.. it is not about resonant shifting in the reality of cavities in the body... it is about the semantics or "talk track' of vocal technique and vocal modes. So please, if you are going to jump onto my channel and make arguments, please have the class to argue for or against the points that are actually being made and keep it in context, don't just jump on here and make a bunch of noise that is irrelevant.
@roblunte how exactly is this not relevant? falsetto is a kind of usage of the vocal chords... ok we all got that (and it can be scientifically detailed how) but why extend the myth of 'head - chest' voice? It IS relevant when you and other vocal coaches out there use these terms like they actually have anything to do with the act of emitting a sound from the vocal apparatus and, in this way, you created and entertained the ideea that these two 'voices' are different somehow.
@infynit Buy my book, "The Four Pillars of Singing" 2.0, where you will read that the "head voice" and "chest voice" do NOT actually exist. These terms are only used as metaphors from time to time to help, usualy beginners, grasp the idea of formant shifts. I'm not married to the terms at all, in fact, more and more, am gravitating away from it, however, I do find it to be useful in some situations and certain students.
@roblunte and i ask you, why exactly doesn't anybody explain the 'real' way things are? why these metaphors, why this probability of confusion... is it because you think most people are of lesser mental ability and will not understand? in my experience i found the exact opposite. the more exact and to the point your information is, the lower the rate of misinterpretation and confusion. and i believe all vocal coaches should be able to exemplify all 'modes' flawlessly and explain them clearly.
@infynit ... Bro, give it up. Again, the video is not for research professionals or is it intended to show off my technical know how of the exactly physiology of singing. The point of the video is to clarify the confusion that many people and teachers are still teaching... this notion that "headvoice" and "falsetto" mean the same thing. THAT is the purpose of the video. Please stop arguing for something that was never intended to be. Your missing the point and now your wasting my time... lame.
so your assumtion that the vocal range is separated is based on the amount of resonance between the cranial cavity and the toracic one? thus. chest and head voice? WTF? what about understanding the entire spectrum of the voice, whatever pitch it sings; any note in your ambitus will have both head and chest resonance... yes the percentage tilts from mostly chest to mostly head with pitch increase.. but that's no reason to make stupid claims that a C4 note is from the chest and C5 from the head
@infynit I don't disagree with your point that in reality, the notes are a cocktail of resonance in both regions... and i do not believe my video composition makes any statement that argues against or for this point? "chest voice" & "head voice" are metaphoric terms we use in voice technique from time to time to just make it easier for people to grasp what is actually a very complex process of physiology, formant shifting ( your point) and other variables. But again, its not even the point.
@pyote5 OF COURSE! See, "Lift Up / Pull Back" video and you can also consider investing in my vocal training system, "The Four Pillars of Singing" 2.0. If you want to bridge from chest to head, check us out at The Vocalist Studio.com. Feel free to send me a private email if you like.
@clayton5150 Now thats a great question. When the formant is configured perfectly or near perfectly, it actually feels great. Its like a massage. You can feel the oscillations rather low, and in the back of the head. You can feel a miniature pulsation and internal "hum". So the combination of this exotic physical sensation with the wonderful sound it produces on the outside creates for a truly unique experience. Very pleasant and makes you want to do it again and again.
@roblunte I have a problem. I have found, I think, my head voice. It is different from my chest voice, and it is certainly not falsetto, it is powerful, it is high, it is smooth, and not airy. But I feel absolutely nothing in my head. There is a bit of pressure right underneath my chin, but nothing where you are describing.
@superkellerman8D Well, first of all, lets make sure your in your head voice in fact. if the note is not above approximately E4 on the piano, your NOT in your head voice. When you are in your head voice, your chin would have very little to do with it and that doesnt mean anything and will go away. "Feel something in your head", well there is a sensation, but I think maybe you do feel it, but dont recognize it.go to my web site and see tvs consulting and send me a file of you singing this note.
@syndetic Thank you Syndetic... Much appreciated. Would love to train with you sometime, feel free to send me a personal email and tell me more about yourself and your singing.
@Sharitie26 You still dont get it! You sing Falsetto mode in the head voice... you dont sing Falsetto without also singing in your head voice. You have to understand that basic reality before we can explain. But essentially, most women are in their head voice at around Bb4+, if the phonations above that are windy and like a little choral girl, she is singing in Falsetto mode in the head voice... if it is a full, connected phonation, she is singing a "twang-like" phonation in the head voice.
watch?v=ggNusJ4dv3U (this is What I've Done (live) but Linkin Park). Can you tell me what mode he sings in (esp. the chorus/bridge)? I was having an argument with my friend about it and now I have no idea :P
I understand the concept....Thank You.This is for men to be aware of. However, does that apply to women/female singers as well because most will say that women don't have a falsetto it's just called a head voice. Do women actually have falsetto?
@highnote32 Women can phonate with an open glottis and therefore produce a windy phonation in the head register. You could call it Falsetto vocal mode. Just realize that Falsetto is a vocal mode, not a register... that is the point of the video. When you finally get remove that confusion, the world of possibilities open up to you, because you realize you can sing in different vocal modes in the head voice, not just Falsetto. Vocal modes do not discriminate against sex/gender.
@roblunte My mix sounds child-like/boyish and I am 27 years old....That's what I was told by my fellow male barbershoppers. I'm Okay with some vocal maturity until G4 or G#4 and after that, it sounds young/cute sort of deal (Especially the notes...A4 to Eb5). Also, my natural chest voice is light/cute says my coach and tends to be raspy. I wonder if that is alright at my age?
@highnote32 It is "right" and to be expected if you have not trained to learn how to sing in your head voice to make it sound like a chesty belt. These are the techniques we can show you at TVS with great success actually. You have to have me show you how and then you have to train the techniques... then, your head voice will sound huge through your entire range, including beyond G#4. You can purchase the training at w w w. thevocaliststudio . com / purchase-training
@roblunte. The belted notes from F4 to A4 are just mixed for me but when it come to a Bb4 to Eb5, there is somewhat of intensity and it almost sounds chest belty.
Oh thanks for the answer! I'd be very glad to train with you or with your teachers but the problem is I live in Russia :) Thanks, I think "Pillars" is exactly what I need :)
@programmist89 Living in Russia is not a problem? Why is that a problem? Russians can learn to sing as well... you need to take internet lessons with me over skype web cam. I currently have several students that train with me over the internet with skype, from Russia. You need to send me a private email to robert @ thevocaliststudio . com and I can give you more information if you are truly serious about learning how to sing.
Thanks! Great demonstration, that's the best explanation ever on youtube. But some questions is coming up...How do you move from falsetto mode to another one? What are the feelings like to? Is there an exercise to learn how to do that and if is, can you show it please? Thanks a lot!
@programmist89 Thanks. Of course there is a way to learn how to modify from Falsetto mode to Twang vocal mode. The techniques and workouts are available when you train with me or one of my teachers in France, Germany or Italy. It is also available in the DVD training system, "The Four Pillars of Singing". Go to my web site and check it out. "Pillars" is offered in both a hard copy and as a digital download.
By far the best explanation on the "tube", the most logical, and indeed the most helpful. I've done different singing programs, worked with a coach, some of it helped, I was able to belt in head voice when I walked away from this video, fantastic ! Thank you ! ~ Sean
Fantastic video Rob, this certainly ends my frustration with the debates I have had in the past with other singers on what is head voice and what is falsetto.
Your welcome my friend. Falsetto is a vocal mode, head voice is a vocal register. Everyone stop referring to "Falsetto" as a vocal register... and we'll all be off on a much more clear path to vocal enlightenment.
Is The 4 Pillars 2.0 being released around next time? And, If I purchased the Electronic Copy before, I wouldn't have have any disadvantages, because of an download upgrade (like you said in that radio interview on your page), right? I just don't want to bite myself in the butt later...
No, No, No, No... if my current clients were to not have a benefit when Pillars 2.0 is released then I would be bite myself in the butt too! Go ahead and move forward with Pillars 1.5 now and when 2.0 comes, all existing clients of 1.5 are going to get a VERY special deal for the update... remember, 2.0 is going from 11 workouts to 33.. it has over 6 hours of vocal workouts and 50GB of HD video footage of all the new vocal workouts, and a rewrite of the book. Its practically a new set.
Ya, but unless your a research scientist, an ENT or voice teacher, its not going to matter much to you. They dont teach people how to sing in my opinion. There are no workouts, no vocalizes,,, its the study of laryngeal physiology... actually kinda dry and boring stuff. If you want to learn how to sing .. and learn how to sing amazing, studying Estill is not going to do anymore for you then studying Calculus.
I dont know much about Estill as ive never taken a workshop.. but all i gotta say is: this is one thing that CVT lacks... i think they shud take into account more d phenomenon of "bridging" and how it factors in with how u wanna change phonations or modes... very insightful too of how falsetto can be a beginner's calibrating mechanism for bridging n eventually moving on to different phonations in d high notes/headvoice.. Thank you, sir!
Exactly. You nailed it! I like some things about CVT, such as their work with vocal modes as well, but what concerns me is that CVT is one of these "Passagio denial" pedagogies. They teach that the Passagio doesnt exist. There approach is to teach students that it doesnt exist and just get on with the vocal modes...ok, that can work for more intuitive/gifted people, but if your a beginner that chokes on high notes, you know damn well the Passagio DOES exist and you will need help.
@roblunte - Yes in the CVT book they definitely come from a "passagio doesn't exist" POV. Their idea is that breaks happen because of a lack of a switch to a different vocal mode. Thats Ok but its certainly not the whole story.
The better idea comes from a Bel Canto idea that if you use appoggio of strong breath support the passagio doesn't exist anymore. Breaks are just less of a problem with really consistent compression.
Nice post. Your right about the CVI strategy and its true that vocal mode configuration is an important part of the overall "package" of techniques you have to master and at TVS, we train vocal modes as well. The problem, as I see it with the CVI approach is, training people to try to "switch" vocal modes from day one... with beginners and some singers is too difficult. It also fails to account for the timing calibrations that MUST be learned in order to bridge effectively.
Very interesting, thanks. Would it be possible for you to sing one note, and whilst sustaining it, switch to different modes? Preferably without the mike so we can hear the raw sound, and hear the differences in tonality clearly?
@roblunte - I don't want to think of it as "dumb it down", just making it more "accessible" vocabulary wise to the average singer who isn't up on vocal physiology.
Kevin, are you calling the average singer dumb? I believe that people want to hear this explanation regardless of thier experience and indeed, this composition is every bit as much for my colleagues in the business and vocal experts as it is for students that are struggling in vocal training systems where the term "falsetto" is being used inappropriately.
@roblunte - No not "dumb" - just either uninformed or misinformed. I don't think many vocal experts are trolling YouTube for falsetto vs. head voice videos but the average singer (under 25 and an amateur) certainly is. And this "average" singer probably hasn't bought a book (at least a recently published book) on vocal physiology and won't understand the complex explanation.
It's not a "dumbing down" but rather to make the complex - simple to digest quickly & easily.
@roblunte I, for one, welcome the more technical explanations. It's like an "Alton Brown teaches singing" kinda thing. As long as you provide demonstrations to accompany the explanations (like you've been doing), it remains accessible and well within most people's reach. Thanks a lot for your vids.
Yes, Ken Karlsson from Sweden, he came to TVS to do a 24 Training Intensive session for a week... you can see his testimonial on my channel too... Cool guy and an amazing singer, especially after I pounded on him for 24 hours.. haha!
Mindfuck! Guy in the back. Good video btw

The better idea comes from a Bel Canto idea that if you use appoggio of strong breath support the passagio doesn't exist anymore. Breaks are just less of a problem with really consistent compression.
