@funkyfranx a chest voice is the lower notes the ones that you use more of your chest to sing with and your head voice are the higher notes the ones that resonate more in your throat and head :)
@funkyfranx Head voice is like falsetto but how high you can go, its not exactly falsetto. Chest voice is basically how high you can go without screeching and then you go into head voice. Sorry not the best explainer, im only 12
@grrrr17 her vocal chords aren't producing this , read into it so you're more educated, it's called "head voice" mariah carey used to be good at it, it's a vocal trick
Where does the noise come from, if it is not made by the vocal chords?
The throat? Maybe it could be called throat-singing, then?
What's wrong with it? How come we should only sing within our comfortable vocal registries, or diaphragms, if we find it pleasing it the ear to create the noise from somewhere else?
@cbarrett34 Im sorry but maybe you should get some education in the voice and singing,... yes it is Head voice, but like the name says, VOICE, the vocal chords are still producing the sound,. the sound comes from air passing the vocals chords, which vibrate to produce pitch. Although it is head voice, the pitch just comes from different vibrations of the vocal chords than in chest voice..
@cbarrett34 Wtf? This makes no sense. Head voice IS connected and produced by the vocal chords. You're referring to WHISTLE REGISTER, which is what Mariah is doing in her song "Emotions"....NOT head voice. Buy yourself a clue.
@cbarrett34 this i just dont know what to say ... Are you serious? You think this is a vocal trick? You cant make sounds with just your throat bro got news for ya!.. HAHHAHA I'm sorry its just too funny and I can tell you really think your right don't ya? WRONG the sounds that come outt of humans no matter if it's falsetto or head voice or chest voice it's all done with the same vocal chords that you speak with.. if you didn't have vocal chords there would be now vibration and thus no sound
@cbarrett34 you soooo wrong.. look im an old metal hippy that can sing jus t about everything including all the old queensryche and opera style metal and you are WRONG this is "head voice" this is NOT falsetto.. anything you can sing in this "head voice" you can sing with your chest you just put a little more power into it and you can belt .. thats what your wanting.. and trust me she could turn this up LOUD .. now fasetto is like the old saturday night fever sound .. the BeeGee is falsetto..k?
@StudioGoldsmith for the record, since the female voice is designed to function this way, it is not called falsetto (false/fake) but head voice. Females don't have "falsetto", males do. The female head voice however, is equivalent to the males falsetto. The difference is, male voices are designed to be chest dominant while female voices are designed to be head dominant. If it's designed to function this way, whats "false" about it, right?
@Joelmendozamusic The male head voice is "falsetto." For men it's falsetto, for women it's "head voice." At least that's what I thought. I'm not much of a singer... lol
@Joelmendozamusic That is a very good question. Yes, men can develop a head voice when they learn to mix the chest register and the falsetto register. What you get is the very robust sound that it much heavier than falsetto, but much lighter than chest. Nevertheless, male voices are still designed to be chest dominant. You can't hurt the voice by lightening things up i.e. falsetto or mix, but you can hurt your voice if you make things too heavy i.e. women singing in a chest dominant register...
@watsola Of course women have falsetto! Sopranos, by example, maybe don't use it 'cause already have the voice well high, but they have! I saw too much times females using falsetto. Altos, generally, don't have so good head voice, then they use falsetto. ¬¬
@watsola females have falsetto, everybody with a bit of knowledge of the vocal cords knows that. just that females sound stronger in their falsetto than males. also, females speak in their chest voice too, only that they get in the head voice easier. but yes, a male who sings in a pure head voice will sound more edgy than a female beacuse if he can hit the same notes, he still has thicker cords.
@marketanarchist2011 actually, anyone who has taken a God damned vocal pedagogy class knows that females DO NOT have a falsetto. They have head voice, men have falsetto and head voice. The lowest range is chest, the the mid range is technically called mixed voice, then head voice and then whistle ton. That high E she's singing is probably closer to a whistle tone, and the lowest is in a mixed tone, if it was full chest voice she'd be belting.
Furthermore, most women speak in a mixed voice, as pure chest voice spoken tone creates vocal fry, which is a very strange, rattle sound. And really... I don't know why anyone would be impressed with this, her tone is brittle and thin, if you want real, beautiful high E's go listen to Cecilia Bartoli, Natalie Dessay, Renee Flemming, Kristen Chenowith, or anyone that knows how to produce a decent tone without autotune. It's ruining music and proliferating the production of CRAP. /endrant
Wrong again. Females and males speak in their chest voice only that women go sometimes also in their head voice. Chest voice and vocal fry are to separate things(vocal fry is the lowest register as whistle is the highest). Again, women HAVE falsetto, science proved this 50 years ago, if you learn canto from a book writen 150 years ago, then probably you will have this misconceptions. Then the teachers were only males and womens falsetto sounded to strong for them.
@marketanarchist2011 I'm not going to spend anymore time on this. Being a vocal pedagog myself, I stand by my original statement. Anyone who says differently clearly has no back ground in vocal pedagogy. I would like to suggest a book for you to read: The Functional Unity of the Singing Voice by Barbara Doscher. Enjoy the read...
@watsola well, females can have falsetto as well, but like you said that note was solid enough to connect back to her chest voice. It's near impossible to do that with falsetto.
@watsola Actually you're wrong. Females can have falsetto, but normally they sing in chest voice, what she singing is head voice, and guys can sing in head voice too...
@IlluminateTenor You just stated that "females can have falsetto" then go on to say she is singing in head voice (my original argument). Need I say more? Again, only males have falsetto, in females it is called HEAD VOICE not falsetto!!!
@IlluminateTenor Congratulations, males can develop a head voice (I stated this a few weeks ago on this very video). However, woman don't have "falsetto", they have head voice. You do realize these are two different words with two different meanings, and two very different functions, right? This is pointless, I'm done... If you need further clarification, please read, The Functional Unity of the Singing voice by Barbara Doscher. Enjoy the read!
@watsola Woman are capable of producing a falsetto though (judging by the functioning of the vocal chords compared to the tone). Falsettos coined tone is that of an airy, unsupported sound produced by the vocal chords being wide open as air is pushed through them. Head voice is the opposite (as the vocal chords are "zipped up) producing a more resonant and generally higher tone. When discussing the actual tone and functioning of the register, females can and have produced the sound.
@watsola although the term "Falsetto makes more sense when discussing a male voice (as it is a False" tone) The female voice can also produce such a tone although it is not a False sound. So since the term is coined by the functioning, rather than the gender- females do have such a register.
@MrFutureseer If anyone refers to the female head voice as falsetto, they have absolutely no business working with the human voice. It is this misuse of language that is destroying the female voice. There is nothing false about the female head voice. Her voice is designed to function this way. Defining it as "falsetto" implies it not her real voice, encouraging chesty mixing which destroys her voice over time (Adele). The Functional Unity of the singing voice by Barbara Doscher is a great read!
@crazycellist973 I've stated my argument time and time again. It seems like more and more people who know little to nothing about how the voice functions, keep coming. To think that I'm referring to whistle register tells me you may be one of those people. Please, read The functional Unity of the Singing Voice by Barbara Doscher. Being a vocal pedagog and a voice teacher, this book has done wonder for me and my students. Enjoy the read!
@watsola I was making no accuasations. I didn't really bother to read the whole conversation and I commented, because that's what it seemed like you were getting at. As a young college student, it can sometimes be difficult for me to tell the difference. If you are a "vocal pedagog and a voice teacher", don't you have better things to do with your time than troll youtube?
@crazycellist973 I jump at every opportunity to educate. When a student brought this to my attention with questions (about the discussion and language used) I offered my knowledge. However, I do not "troll"... Enjoy the read!
@watsola But your missing the point. there is a clear difference between Head voice and falsetto. Both men and Women have both. Why would you say that men have both falsetto and head voice if the way you are referring to it is as a false tone? Then all you would say is that they have falsetto. Women are capable of producing the tone as well. However it is not head voice. Because it is not produced the same way as head voice and does not sound the same either. So you would reffer to it asfalsetto
@watsola although the definition of Falsetto is better referred to towards the male voice, it is also applied to the female voice as although it is not a false tone the actual tone and functioning of the technique is the same for both males and females therefor you would reffer to both as falsetto. Its not a gender label.
@watsola@watsola Real mature. Funny how you act so arrogant when you're dead wrong in everything you're saying. The 'female head voice' being the same vocal mechanism as a male's falsetto does indeed mean it is 'false'. That's not to say there is anything wrong with using it, but it's not a part of their true voice. Period.
Also, I can't be arsed to read through fifty messages from some hack, what a waste of time that would be. <3
@watsola so why would you need falsetto and head voice to be gender related if it is the same thing? Couldn't you say the same word for either gender? Why do they need two different names?
@dimestarr91 They aren't the same thing. The production of both are different. Falsetto's are produced by the voice and are in reference to the actual tone of the produced sound, although it resonates in the head, rather than chest. When you are producing a falsetto the vocal chords are wide open releasing large amounts of air, giving it that airy" tone. However when Head voice is produced the chords are literally "zipped up to the very top, producing a very high tone but the tone is much more
@dimestarr91 supported and resonant. The female voice CAN* produce a falsetto due to the actual function of the vocal chords. However they are often coined as head voice purely due to the different labels made for each gender.
@StudioGoldsmith How can it be falsetto if she scaled back down into chest voice? Obviously it was connected...hence, head voice. There, I proved you wrong as you asked.
@YouWereBornToServeMe No, she doesn't...there's an obvious vocal BREAK when Mariah does it, it isn't a seamless transition from one register to another; just because she doesn't take a breath doesn't mean that it's connected. Amy's is CLEARLY head voice...falsetto doesn't sound like that, and there was no break in her transition whatsoever.
@fudgebutter100 Uh, no they aren't...HEAD VOICE is connected; falsetto, by definition, is NOT. You don't necessarily CALL "disconnected head voice" in women "falsetto," since that is a term most ordinarily relegated to men; but women are capable of disconnected head tones (what is termed "falsetto" in men) just as men are. and yes, men CAN sing in connected head voice as well.
Well, I think she's soprano too, but just because a singer hits some notes higher than soprano C, doesn't mean she's soprano. Simone Simons is mezzo soprano and her range is G3 - C#6. Mezzo sopranos can hit high notes, higher than some sopranos, like Cecilia Bartoli, her range is E3 - E6 and she's still mezzo. Some sopranos cannot hit E6. Being soprano is not just about hitting high notes.
@LupaN95 I'm so glad someone brought up Cecilia! The vocal classifications are much more about vocal weight and colour than they are about range. I mean, if you went strictly by range, no contralto would ever be able to sing higher than G5, but I know of two contraltos off the top of my head who can sing soprano C with no problem!
@LupaN95 I DO know a lot about vocal classifications, being an opera singer (in training) and erudite, and I'd say she's probably not a mezzo. In a lot of her songs with the band, she brings so much of her chest tone up into her voice because she's pretty much belting, which gives her a very mezzo-y sound, but here, when you can hear her pure voice, it's so light and has such a bright colour that she's almost certainly a soprano.
@LupaN95 I doubt it. She definitely has the instrument, don't get me wrong. The voice is ABSOLUTELY there. But there are lots of people with beautiful voices. To be an opera singer involves learning to use that instrument to such a degree of precision it's insane, not to mention a whole host of other skills besides singing. I've been studying for years and I'm nowhere near where I need to be to even get a job. I don't know much about her training, but odds are she wasn't aiming for that anyway..
@AceofGallifrey You seem like someone that could help me with this one. I'm classified as a mezzo soprano, but I can whistle E6, but as far as belting, I have absolutely no clue my highest note. And I'm somewhat of a light lyric soprano (as so I'm told) but how exactly would I know for sure? Or how could I measure?
@JadeArsenic To really be able to tell you for sure I'd have to hear you, but range really isn't a good way to define range. For example, Cecilia Bartoli is a coloratura mezzo-soprano, but has a range up to at least an E6, possibly higher. Range is really only a vague measurement of vocal classification, it's more about vocal weight and colour. Your best bet is to have a QUALIFIED master of voice, someone with a good diagnostic ear, work with you and sound you out.
@fanipenguin the makeup artist is her best friend and i do this exact same thing in my best friend's face so ya i feel bad for her! Lol! I LOVE AMY LEE!!!!!!! <3 :)
@ArcticaRhapsody Teach these children!...but at least they got the pitch right. Most of the "range vids" have random notes assigned - ESPECIALLY on the low notes.
she is very very very close to maria callas! comparing to this video /watch?v=GJKy8E4JKA8 ( i hate classic music though i am metalhead with fav bands metallica megadeth pantera and nightwish xD )
@ArcticaRhapsody I didn't say that she was a soprano, I said that the note she hit in this video is a high soprano E (E6), which it IS. Why are you putting words in my mouth?
The reason she's able to do tht is because sea a mezzo soprano they are able to hit the really high register Nd also hit low right after what she has is a gift the only better then a mezzo soprano is a tenor (exp Adam lambert)
@Gandalf930 It was sustained o.O and she hit E6 2 times. Sustained note doesn't mean that it has to be keeped for a few seconds. This note wasn't a short peak, so it's sustained.
@SaphiraSiLva001 Uh...soprano high C is C6. This note is an E6, which is two notes above soprano high C. Hence, the note she is hitting here is high soprano E. Thank you.
@Android18uk That does make sense, she is able to extend to those high notes, but can go very low as well such as in "going under" and "weight of the world"....I'm no expert but I don't know if a "true soprano" would be able to hit such low notes with the ease and strength that she is able to.....but again I'm no expert.
@navnurse11 That's called training, her voice still lacks of power, is not as clear as a soprano E6 would be. i can go really low naturally and that does not make me contralto, i'm coloratura soprano. i feel better in higher notes, amy feels better in her middle notes, her voice is kind of thick and powerful in that zone.
@ArcticaRhapsody yeah, that would be training that would allow her to extend her range that far. I agree that her best is in her middle notes. She tends to stick with those for the most part. To piggyback off of your second comment about the straining, that would be the reason why she doesn't typically sing her songs in a key that demands her to sing in the sixth octave. Coloratura huh? That's impressive! I wish I were a coloratura, but I'm just a lyric mezzo *sigh*
@navnurse11 Lyric mezzo is really good, in general: darker and lower voices are very underrated, soprano's voices are everywhere, most of women are soprano. mezzo is kind of uncommon and contralto is really really hard to find, most of the roles of the contralto are interpreted by a deep mezzo with trained low notes. i have a wide range, but i feel better on the higher register. my favorite type of voice is mezzo.
@ArcticaRhapsody And what kind of soprano are you? By the power of voice?
I can sing the songs of Amy Lee on the high notes but I scream more than her. I do not use falsetto as much as her, so I have little idea, can you help me? : S
@SomosSoloPersonas Dramatic coloratura soprano... i believe you speak spanish by your username, but i'm not quite sure, i speak spanish too, even if i'm dutch... mmm, responding your other question: not necessarily you are a soprano if you hit a c6, me as a "classical trained" voice, i can tell you is really hard to categorize voices just by their range, is more about your tesitura and color. but if you sing with no problem higher register. PROBABLY you are soprano. (the most common voice)
Nunca he dado clases de canto por lo tanto no he entrenado al voz y quizá con los años si tomo clases podré alcanzar notas más altas. Por eso pregunto porque no tengo mucha idea sobre el tema, gracias :)
@mellynumerounoo I think she means that simply because you can hit that note doesn't mean she's a Soprano. I tend to agree with her, using operatic fach to describe pop singers is wrong. Furthermore, practice notes do not necessarily equate to usable singing notes.
It was also pretty name screechy, sounded like it hurt.

If you need further clarification, please read, The Functional Unity of the Singing voice by Barbara Doscher. Enjoy the read!

@watsola Woman are capable of producing a falsetto though (judging by the functioning of the vocal chords compared to the tone). Falsettos coined tone is that of an airy, unsupported sound produced by the vocal chords being wide open as air is pushed through them. Head voice is the opposite (as the vocal chords are "zipped up) producing a more resonant and generally higher tone. When discussing the actual tone and functioning of the register, females can and have produced the sound.

@MrFutureseer what you are referring to is not falsetto and head voice, rather head voice and MIX...
watsola 3 months ago
@watsola although the term "Falsetto makes more sense when discussing a male voice (as it is a False" tone) The female voice can also produce such a tone although it is not a False sound. So since the term is coined by the functioning, rather than the gender- females do have such a register.
MrFutureseer 3 months ago
@MrFutureseer You basically reiterated what I said in my original statement above. The register in females is called, HEAD VOICE!
watsola 3 months ago
@watsola However it is still referred to as Falsetto due to the fact that they are NOT THE SAME THING.
MrFutureseer 3 months ago
@MrFutureseer If anyone refers to the female head voice as falsetto, they have absolutely no business working with the human voice. It is this misuse of language that is destroying the female voice. There is nothing false about the female head voice. Her voice is designed to function this way. Defining it as "falsetto" implies it not her real voice, encouraging chesty mixing which destroys her voice over time (Adele). The Functional Unity of the singing voice by Barbara Doscher is a great read!

@watsola But your missing the point. there is a clear difference between Head voice and falsetto. Both men and Women have both. Why would you say that men have both falsetto and head voice if the way you are referring to it is as a false tone? Then all you would say is that they have falsetto. Women are capable of producing the tone as well. However it is not head voice. Because it is not produced the same way as head voice and does not sound the same either. So you would reffer to it asfalsetto
MrFutureseer 3 months ago
@watsola although the definition of Falsetto is better referred to towards the male voice, it is also applied to the female voice as although it is not a false tone the actual tone and functioning of the technique is the same for both males and females therefor you would reffer to both as falsetto. Its not a gender label.

@watsola It may be called 'head voice' in females but the vocal mechanism is identical to a male's falsetto.

@watsola @watsola Real mature. Funny how you act so arrogant when you're dead wrong in everything you're saying. The 'female head voice' being the same vocal mechanism as a male's falsetto does indeed mean it is 'false'. That's not to say there is anything wrong with using it, but it's not a part of their true voice. Period.
Also, I can't be arsed to read through fifty messages from some hack, what a waste of time that would be. <3

@watsola so why would you need falsetto and head voice to be gender related if it is the same thing? Couldn't you say the same word for either gender? Why do they need two different names?
dimestarr91 3 months ago
@dimestarr91 They aren't the same thing. The production of both are different. Falsetto's are produced by the voice and are in reference to the actual tone of the produced sound, although it resonates in the head, rather than chest. When you are producing a falsetto the vocal chords are wide open releasing large amounts of air, giving it that airy" tone. However when Head voice is produced the chords are literally "zipped up to the very top, producing a very high tone but the tone is much more
MrFutureseer 3 months ago
@dimestarr91 supported and resonant. The female voice CAN* produce a falsetto due to the actual function of the vocal chords. However they are often coined as head voice purely due to the different labels made for each gender.

Mariah Carey glides from falsetto to lower notes in the modal range. It's not impossible, it's just unlikely.

@YouWereBornToServeMe No, she doesn't...there's an obvious vocal BREAK when Mariah does it, it isn't a seamless transition from one register to another; just because she doesn't take a breath doesn't mean that it's connected.

@fudgebutter100 Uh, no they aren't...HEAD VOICE is connected; falsetto, by definition, is NOT. You don't necessarily CALL "disconnected head voice" in women "falsetto," since that is a term most ordinarily relegated to men; but women are capable of disconnected head tones (what is termed "falsetto" in men) just as men are. and yes, men CAN sing in connected head voice as well.

Well, I think she's soprano too, but just because a singer hits some notes higher than soprano C, doesn't mean she's soprano. Simone Simons is mezzo soprano and her range is G3 - C#6. Mezzo sopranos can hit high notes, higher than some sopranos, like Cecilia Bartoli, her range is E3 - E6 and she's still mezzo. Some sopranos cannot hit E6. Being soprano is not just about hitting high notes.
LupaN95 4 months ago in playlist Rock&Metal
@LupaN95 I'm so glad someone brought up Cecilia! The vocal classifications are much more about vocal weight and colour than they are about range. I mean, if you went strictly by range, no contralto would ever be able to sing higher than G5, but I know of two contraltos off the top of my head who can sing soprano C with no problem!
AceofGallifrey 4 months ago
@AceofGallifrey I don't know much about vocal classifications, but do you think she's mezzo too?
LupaN95 4 months ago
@LupaN95 I DO know a lot about vocal classifications, being an opera singer (in training) and erudite, and I'd say she's probably not a mezzo. In a lot of her songs with the band, she brings so much of her chest tone up into her voice because she's pretty much belting, which gives her a very mezzo-y sound, but here, when you can hear her pure voice, it's so light and has such a bright colour that she's almost certainly a soprano.
AceofGallifrey 4 months ago
@AceofGallifrey I've seen some people saying that she is contralto, that's just absurd. Anyway, I wonder if she would be a good opera singer...
LupaN95 4 months ago
@LupaN95 I doubt it. She definitely has the instrument, don't get me wrong. The voice is ABSOLUTELY there. But there are lots of people with beautiful voices. To be an opera singer involves learning to use that instrument to such a degree of precision it's insane, not to mention a whole host of other skills besides singing. I've been studying for years and I'm nowhere near where I need to be to even get a job. I don't know much about her training, but odds are she wasn't aiming for that anyway..
AceofGallifrey 4 months ago
@AceofGallifrey You seem like someone that could help me with this one. I'm classified as a mezzo soprano, but I can whistle E6, but as far as belting, I have absolutely no clue my highest note. And I'm somewhat of a light lyric soprano (as so I'm told) but how exactly would I know for sure? Or how could I measure?
JadeArsenic 4 months ago
@JadeArsenic To really be able to tell you for sure I'd have to hear you, but range really isn't a good way to define range. For example, Cecilia Bartoli is a coloratura mezzo-soprano, but has a range up to at least an E6, possibly higher. Range is really only a vague measurement of vocal classification, it's more about vocal weight and colour. Your best bet is to have a QUALIFIED master of voice, someone with a good diagnostic ear, work with you and sound you out.

@Android18uk That does make sense, she is able to extend to those high notes, but can go very low as well such as in "going under" and "weight of the world"....I'm no expert but I don't know if a "true soprano" would be able to hit such low notes with the ease and strength that she is able to.....but again I'm no expert.
navnurse11 6 months ago
@navnurse11 That's called training, her voice still lacks of power, is not as clear as a soprano E6 would be. i can go really low naturally and that does not make me contralto, i'm coloratura soprano. i feel better in higher notes, amy feels better in her middle notes, her voice is kind of thick and powerful in that zone.
ArcticaRhapsody 6 months ago
@ArcticaRhapsody yeah, that would be training that would allow her to extend her range that far. I agree that her best is in her middle notes. She tends to stick with those for the most part. To piggyback off of your second comment about the straining, that would be the reason why she doesn't typically sing her songs in a key that demands her to sing in the sixth octave. Coloratura huh? That's impressive! I wish I were a coloratura, but I'm just a lyric mezzo *sigh*
navnurse11 6 months ago

@navnurse11 Lyric mezzo is really good, in general: darker and lower voices are very underrated, soprano's voices are everywhere, most of women are soprano. mezzo is kind of uncommon and contralto is really really hard to find, most of the roles of the contralto are interpreted by a deep mezzo with trained low notes. i have a wide range, but i feel better on the higher register. my favorite type of voice is mezzo.

PROBABLY you are soprano. (the most common voice)
