@MegaSchoolGirl1 I get SOME info from wiki now and then; and most of it is dead on. Can't help if sometimes ppl post crazy things on there. They post crazy things on here too. LOL
The whole thing behind falsetto I've found is don't be afraid to go for it, when you hit that perfect sky high note nothing in my opinion feels better! a personal favourite for showcasing this technique almost at a constant is Myles Kennedy, if you havent heard of him check him out, its refreshing to see someone who can genuinely sing and hit the highs in the rock/metal genre of music, completely agree with the justin timberlake song btw, far too flat for my liking :p
Hey rob. love the video. i myself sing, but I find this video very interesting. It took me a long time to learn how to reach my falsetto and head voice (though i sounded atrocious). I'm 18 now and I didnt learn how to reach my falsetto til I was 16 going on 17 and i never used it. but i realized that if i practice more i will get better. So I got into alot of Mariah Carey and now I sound decent and sometimes good in my head voice, its made me a more confident/daring singer.
@dafuture93 that's a good thing. Have you been watching Eric Arceneaux? He has some good videos on working your break (passagio) into you your head voice.
Hey Robert! Can I ask should I try and work hard on developing mixed voice? is that technique required to become a good singer? By the way I'm 14, I've hit puberty since my voice isn't like a girl anymore, though I can hit songs by Justin Bieber when he lowers his key on the song. Do you have any advice on what should I develop first? Anyway I can hit the so called mixed voice but it still disconnects so I guess it's falsetto. Thanks in Advance and for the motivational videos Robert! :D
@defeatedwyvern You're very welcome and Thanks for the question. First off, your voice is still changing and will continue to grow and mature. What you should be doing, if you're planning on being a singer, is working your full range. As you work through your range, you'll have fits and starts but it will begin to smooth over just like if you were painting a wall and you kept smoothing it out.
Don't worry about falsetto or head voice or chest. Just exercise your full range. Hope it helps.
FALSETTO , when used for a LONG TIME can actually deteriorate and damage your VOCAL CORDS. Just a piece of advice. From the time that I learned that from ROGER BURNLEY, I started extending my vocal range and use proper techniques to use mixture of my chest and head voice. In falsetto you can't do a transition from falsetto to chest. It can produce a squeaky sound unlike when you use, head voice, you can sing a high note and then go back to your lowest note EFFORTLESSLY. :) I hope it helps. :p
The "for women there is no falsetto" and "for men it is called falsetto" is old hat. Modern vocal teachers are aware that falsetto and head voice are fundamentally different, with head voice being closed, full voice, and falsetto being a disconnected, breathy sound.
im sorry but a real singer can sing for ever and ever and does not get hoarse and loose any voice. you must be straining and that is not needed for any range what so ever. for me i can do that whistle register but it is not falsetto it is my same placement as any other range i would sing. i sing and train for hours and hours everyday houuurrsss lol and it just gets easier and never hurts at all it shouldnt take mush effort
@imcrazy85 I'm sure I've worked with over a thousand "real singers" who earn a living at what they do and they will all tell you that sometimes your voice gets tired, and if you continue singing (which you have to do cause it's your job), you'll start getting hoarse. It's happened to just about every artist out there no matter how good their technique. It's a muscle and muscles get sore and tired due to natural use.
If your voice teacher is doing it right, you won't be training for hrs and hrs
@robertantonnyc Couldn't agree more, everyone is different & offcourse your voice can go or have simple but normal stuff ups sometimes if you over work it. It's never happened to me but it's obvious your right robertantony.
Anyone who says their voice is perfect 100% of the time even if they have overworked it for many hours each day, weeks or whatever, then you know they are full of shit,lol...
Hello, I checked imcrazy85's page,& his voice was too strained, & he couldn't carry slurs. He didn't have a voice quality, & he was using a mic, how much more if he wasn't?
@imcrazy85 Saying your voice never tires is like saying an Olympic athlete never takes breaks. Sure the recovery period for Beyonce would be different from normal people because she has been trained for so long but the vocal cords require muscle to come together. Muscle tires, there is no muscle that doesn't get tired. So saying you never get tired is quite a lie. You're just not singing to your maximum capacity.
@Jeedxx It's a muscle; you have to work it constantly and your voice is probably still changing so I wouldn't try to master it but learn how to use it.
@robertantonnyc Listen to Michelle Gold's mixed voice training video. I think she is using her falsetto when she sings the "not so pretty" line. The other examples is where she uses head voice/ operatic technique. I am kinda hearing a difference.
@highnote32 what I think it sounds like and what it actually is may be 2 different things. What really matters to me is not what part, or section, of the voice is being used; it's more about how well the voice is being used. When it comes right down to it, if you're not a female then it doesn't matter to you personally.
The 'experts' like to argue over such things. To be a professional, you don't need to know that. what you need to know is how to use what you have.
@robertantonnyc I'm NOT female, I am a male singer...Countertenor. I sing high 1st Tenor in all 3 choruses in sing in. My natural chest voice runs out at E4, F4, F#4. Around or after that territory I have switch to a mixed voice rather that a weak/detached falsetto as most teachers would say. They want me to use a falsetto which they say has beauty and clarity. When I sing high notes in my head voice, it tends to be raspy. My vocal teacher says my natural chest voice lacks the darkness.
@highnote32 and what will your teacher have you do to capture the 'darkness'?
Sounds like a raspy head voice means too much pressure and not enough release, but I'm not a voice teacher. I'm more of a life coach teaching ppl how to earn a good living as a performer.
You sound like you're doing some good things having a teacher and being in choirs. Will you study voice in college? Music is a wonderful profession as well as a fun pastime.
Falsetto and head voice are too completely different things... Falsetto is another register. Head voice is when you send the resonance to your head creating a lighter but full tone! Women dont have falsetto but an equivalent for them would be the whistle register!
Just recently I've been cast in the show "once upon a mattress" as the minstrel. I'm am in no way a tener and singin up there really freaked me out, I've been work my butt off but it hasn't been work out and I was thinking about droppin out but watching this actually made me think twice, thanks bro
How do you sooth the head voice? I can sing with my head voice, but it's not really smoothing. I hear professional singers, and their head voice is REALLY smooth, like their voice is gliding or something (hm, i can't seem to describe it ><")
I'm not sure how to describe my head voice, but it's kinda somewhat sharp?
@r3lli3r3ll17 I'm not sure. It's different for every person but first dont be obsessed. just start singing songs and improvising into that range/area. your voice is probably starting to change right now and may not be solid so relax and use what you have while playing around with what you think you want.
It sometimes takes years to develop a good solid sound. A vocal coach or teacher could probably help but you still won't move quickly; it's a lifelong struggle. Believe me. lol
I want to get into my falsetto I just don't know how,I'm a 15 year old male and I want to be able to sing in my falsetto I just don't know where to start!
i try false setto and i can get the sound, i just find it hard to go from note to note in falsesetto, is that just the practice makes perfect kind of thing? or is there something i may be doing wrong? thanks :)
Check out this falsetto and head voice, it's metal so I don't know if you'll like it but this dude has the most powerful falsetto I've ever heard. Look up King Diamond Abigail or any of his songs. Tell me what you think.
Check out My page of me singing I look to You. I'm using falsetto on some of "Yous" Let me know what you think and your opinion. You seem to have a very good musical background.
I appreciate the info, but (and maybe only after you edited it), your title doesn't really match your content, as it implies you're actually giving some hints on how to perform a falsetto.
And regarding getting rid of you merely using some random song to sing to show your falsetto, I doubt that is a copyright problem.
@robertantonnyc Have you noticed that it's harder to sing falsetto if your sinus is blocked up? My nose is blocked and I find it more difficult to sing in falsetto then normal. is this just me?
@fightermma I actually have up a video from last week on how to handle when you're sick. It's called 'Respect Your Body'. Check it out and maybe ask this question over there.
Please do NOT think i am being a typical youtube dick but i have been trying to increase my vocal range and after much research i came across your video. i have noticed that you haven't distinguished "head voice" from "falsetto" although they are two different things. when using my chest to sing there is a point at which i cannot go any higher, however i (in a way thats hard to explain) shift my voice to to where it feels like its resonating out of my face and head. its different from falsetto
Hi mate, thanks for being honest and a lot of small but smart advices :) I just wanted to ask you how high do I have to sing and how good I have to control my falsetto if I wanna sing like Steven Tyler (What it Takes for example, a lot of freakin' stairs out there) and is it possibe at all? Right now I have no idea how to use my fasetto (I mean I did it a few times but always out of tune, off pitch). My teacher first said that I'm a baritone but now he says he thinks I'm a tenor. Peace
I used to have a decent falsetto .. but recently ive found out.. that I cant reach the same notes that i used to be able to, could you explain this, and is there anyway to get the notes back
@robertantonnyc i have a problem, i used to be able to use falsetto and i used it all the time.... i've been extending my mix voice and not using falsetto very much lately, and i just realized that i can't do falsetto at all. its just air when i try to sing it, not a note at all. help?!?!?!
@robertantonnyc actually my head voice has changed, its more airy and i can't go nearly as high. its a lot easier to just use my mix voice, now it goes higher than my head voice.
@TheCalvin8tor um, more than likely what you're hearing with the airyness is the falsetto and the one that goes higher is actually your head voice. Your mix would be somewhere between chest and head where ppl tend to have an obvious break (voice teachers, correct me if I'm wrong).
@robertantonnyc sorry, i meant to say i was extending my chest voice. i know the kinda breathy voice is my head voice, but my falsetto is practically gone. on a good day, i can sing really scratchy falsetto that sounds terrible. it might be that my voice is changing, but i thought my voice fixed where its at like a year ago.
@TheCalvin8tor Hi, what i reccomend is buying bret mannings singing success it will help you a great deal if finding and building your head voice falsetto is where your vocal chords break apart and it sounds airy but your head voice is where ur vocal chords are working properly and efficiently....if you dont want to buy brett mannings singing success (which i highly reccomend) then try this.... use vocal fry, thats the noise u make then u just wake up...start low in fry then go up in your range
@exactlyvague lets not forget Blue Magic's lead singer, the Stylistics, Eddie Kendricks, Phillip Bailey, Some Kool and the Gang songs and Ron Isley from The Isley Brothers for good male falsetto.
Robert, do you think the song 'insatiable' by "darren hayes" has a falsetto that you could consider pleasing to the ear? (can be found on youtube). Just curious
@robertantonnyc Nice! Don't see many of those around these days... Or any other day tbh, it's all tenor this, tenor that... I'm proud to be one of those people, not proud of my range though :P stupid confidence issues!!!!
What was the point of this video? Headvoice is falsetto? What? All girls have falsetto. Within the modal register you have your chestvoice, then middle voice and then you have your headvoice, Stevie Wonder used this to hit C5, if I use headvoice, I can as high as D5, and possibly higher (depends on the day), but if I use falsetto, I can get up to A5 (also depends on the day), I may have missed that you said they're different but, the video was kinda boring so i fell asleep.
Hi! can you listen to me singing and give me some constructive comments....i have never followed any vocal teaching and sing by instinct only and fears to miss some important techniques....if you can help would be nice pal thanks!
Robert, have you ever heard of or studied Speech Level Singing. Check it out. It's an amazing technique to sing in proper mixed voice to transition in the passagio. You can get pretty high in a mixed voice. Shanice is a great example. She studied with Seth Riggs who adopted the Bel Canto to a modern technique he called Speech Level Singing. I studied with Seth in LA and Dave Stroud in San Fran... it's really an awesome method.
i dont get it.... i can not sing at all!!! there should b a law where i can only sing in the shower. if anybody can show me a video n a simpler form that can help me sin, plllleeeaaassse tel me!!!
If you've ever wondered that, you'll want to read this 'vocal tips' issue
Here's the short answer: Head voice and falsetto are not the same, but so many people (including MANY vocal teachers) think they are the same that the terms have become confused and are commonly used interchangably. BUT THEY SHOULDN'T BE.
The easiest way to understand the difference of course is to simply HEAR examples of both. Clear head voice doesn't sound like falsetto.
u can see the video of Mariah Carey on the song "emotions" (HEAD VOICE: You've got me feeling emotions Higher than the heavens above) NORMAL VOICE I feel good I feel nice I've never felt so Satisfied (HEAD VOICE: I'm in love I'm alive Intoxica(ted) THE NOTE AT THE END OF THE WORD IS A FALSETTO Flying high It feels like a dream (HEAD VOICE: When you touch me tenderly I don't know if it's real But I like the way I feel) Ins(side) WHISTLE REGISTER
yes,I want to take vocal lessons because my throat hurts also when I try to sing to the likes of Whitney OR Mariah Carey..I gu ess its because I be tryin to go to high but when I sing to myself it doesnt come out right because I dont know how to use MY voice.,....I just cant seem to find a vocal coach in Baton Rouge,LA
ohokay..I think I NEED lessons though because I dont know how to use my voice..I sing all over the place I love to use my head voice..Never really use my chest voice. Is that healthy?
'head voice' refers to the fact that on higher notes, the tone begins to resonate more in the small spaces of the head (nasal and sinus cavities).
We'll talk more about the effect of resonance on tone in later issues of 'vocal tips,'let's talk about what the cords are doing.
In head voice, the cords remain in contact with one another. This makes a huge difference in tone between falsetto and head voice. The head voice sounds clear and 'clean' without the excess 'airy' sound,
I was like, shut up and sing.

Check out this falsetto and head voice, it's metal so I don't know if you'll like it but this dude has the most powerful falsetto I've ever heard. Look up King Diamond Abigail or any of his songs. Tell me what you think.

Check out My page of me singing I look to You. I'm using falsetto on some of "Yous" Let me know what you think and your opinion. You seem to have a very good musical background.

I appreciate the info, but (and maybe only after you edited it), your title doesn't really match your content, as it implies you're actually giving some hints on how to perform a falsetto.
And regarding getting rid of you merely using some random song to sing to show your falsetto, I doubt that is a copyright problem.

@robertantonnyc Have you noticed that it's harder to sing falsetto if your sinus is blocked up? My nose is blocked and I find it more difficult to sing in falsetto then normal. is this just me?

@fightermma I actually have up a video from last week on how to handle when you're sick. It's called 'Respect Your Body'. Check it out and maybe ask this question over there.

Please do NOT think i am being a typical youtube dick but i have been trying to increase my vocal range and after much research i came across your video. i have noticed that you haven't distinguished "head voice" from "falsetto" although they are two different things. when using my chest to sing there is a point at which i cannot go any higher, however i (in a way thats hard to explain) shift my voice to to where it feels like its resonating out of my face and head. its different from falsetto
laynestaley1990 1 year ago
Hi mate, thanks for being honest and a lot of small but smart advices :) I just wanted to ask you how high do I have to sing and how good I have to control my falsetto if I wanna sing like Steven Tyler (What it Takes for example, a lot of freakin' stairs out there) and is it possibe at all? Right now I have no idea how to use my fasetto (I mean I did it a few times but always out of tune, off pitch). My teacher first said that I'm a baritone but now he says he thinks I'm a tenor. Peace

I used to have a decent falsetto .. but recently ive found out.. that I cant reach the same notes that i used to be able to, could you explain this, and is there anyway to get the notes back
mortcm 1 year ago
@mortcm If you recently found out, then you haven't been using it consistently. It's like muscles, don't work them out and they atrophy (get weak).
robertantonnyc 1 year ago
@robertantonnyc .. Thanks ,, hmmmm its still kinda annoying though, you know, because I cant do something that I could
mortcm 1 year ago
@mortcm gotta get back to working on it regularly and it should come back unless your voice has totally changed.
robertantonnyc 1 year ago
@robertantonnyc i have a problem, i used to be able to use falsetto and i used it all the time.... i've been extending my mix voice and not using falsetto very much lately, and i just realized that i can't do falsetto at all. its just air when i try to sing it, not a note at all. help?!?!?!
TheCalvin8tor 1 year ago
@TheCalvin8tor how's your head voice? Has your voice changed?
robertantonnyc 1 year ago
@robertantonnyc actually my head voice has changed, its more airy and i can't go nearly as high. its a lot easier to just use my mix voice, now it goes higher than my head voice.
TheCalvin8tor 1 year ago
@TheCalvin8tor um, more than likely what you're hearing with the airyness is the falsetto and the one that goes higher is actually your head voice. Your mix would be somewhere between chest and head where ppl tend to have an obvious break (voice teachers, correct me if I'm wrong).
robertantonnyc 1 year ago
@robertantonnyc sorry, i meant to say i was extending my chest voice. i know the kinda breathy voice is my head voice, but my falsetto is practically gone. on a good day, i can sing really scratchy falsetto that sounds terrible. it might be that my voice is changing, but i thought my voice fixed where its at like a year ago.
TheCalvin8tor 1 year ago
@TheCalvin8tor your voice, everyone's voice, continues to grow and change well into your 30s
robertantonnyc 1 year ago
@TheCalvin8tor Hi, what i reccomend is buying bret mannings singing success it will help you a great deal if finding and building your head voice falsetto is where your vocal chords break apart and it sounds airy but your head voice is where ur vocal chords are working properly and efficiently....if you dont want to buy brett mannings singing success (which i highly reccomend) then try this.... use vocal fry, thats the noise u make then u just wake up...start low in fry then go up in your range

@nitrousmc1992 I'd recommend the Eric Arceneaux course over Brett Manning's. Just my preference. He also has free vocal warmups here on youtube.

jamboy711 1 year ago
What was the point of this video? Headvoice is falsetto? What? All girls have falsetto. Within the modal register you have your chestvoice, then middle voice and then you have your headvoice, Stevie Wonder used this to hit C5, if I use headvoice, I can as high as D5, and possibly higher (depends on the day), but if I use falsetto, I can get up to A5 (also depends on the day), I may have missed that you said they're different but, the video was kinda boring so i fell asleep.

Robert, have you ever heard of or studied Speech Level Singing. Check it out. It's an amazing technique to sing in proper mixed voice to transition in the passagio. You can get pretty high in a mixed voice. Shanice is a great example. She studied with Seth Riggs who adopted the Bel Canto to a modern technique he called Speech Level Singing. I studied with Seth in LA and Dave Stroud in San Fran... it's really an awesome method.

'Isn't 'head voice' the same as 'falsetto'?'
If you've ever wondered that, you'll want to read this 'vocal tips' issue
Here's the short answer: Head voice and falsetto are not the same, but so many people (including MANY vocal teachers) think they are the same that the terms have become confused and are commonly used interchangably. BUT THEY SHOULDN'T BE.
The easiest way to understand the difference of course is to simply HEAR examples of both. Clear head voice doesn't sound like falsetto.

yes,I want to take vocal lessons because my throat hurts also when I try to sing to the likes of Whitney OR Mariah Carey..I gu ess its because I be tryin to go to high but when I sing to myself it doesnt come out right because I dont know how to use MY voice.,....I just cant seem to find a vocal coach in Baton Rouge,LA

how about seeing if your local college has a vocal program and seeing if the teachers take on private students?
robertantonnyc 2 years ago
ohokay..I think I NEED lessons though because I dont know how to use my voice..I sing all over the place I love to use my head voice..Never really use my chest voice. Is that healthy?
MonicaFan 2 years ago
sounds like you DO need some type of vocal workout. You should be using your whole voice.
It's like those ppl you see with massive arms and bird chests with skinny little legs; it's just not right. lol.
robertantonnyc 2 years ago
'head voice' refers to the fact that on higher notes, the tone begins to resonate more in the small spaces of the head (nasal and sinus cavities).
We'll talk more about the effect of resonance on tone in later issues of 'vocal tips,'let's talk about what the cords are doing.
In head voice, the cords remain in contact with one another. This makes a huge difference in tone between falsetto and head voice. The head voice sounds clear and 'clean' without the excess 'airy' sound,
