http://www.playbill.com/video
"Chicago" veteran Ryan Lowe joins Seth with a performance of an unusual duet-made-for-one from "The Phantom of the Opera" and displays his unique talent for reaching the high notes that mere mortal men (and even women!) can only dream of.

Its called a counter-tenor

[spazzylunchbox]

He puts Nick Pitera to shame!

[marese11]

Really good

[PurpleBritishPanda]

I can go up to D6 and and E6 is a hit-and-miss for right now but it may just be bad technique. I'm a guy BTW

[devybear14]

Im not alone! I can do this

@eustazio Well I think that women and men make the same vocal productions regardless. So there would be a falsetto for women and head voice for men. Vocals are only different in length. I think using scientific methods is the way to go. I have yet to find an adequate video showing the difference between a falsetto voice and a non-falsetto voice. I'd love to hear your full falsetto voice and analyze it with a spectral analyzer.

@mradaChris i'm a countertenor. my falsetto is full, but it's that... falsetto. i can do the same note in plain voice and it has been proven scientifically that the vibration of the chords is different (not the whole chords are engaged). where you place the resonance is another story, but until you show me a guy, untouched, with an endoscope showing he's using full voice on soprano notes, it is *falsetto*. girls using head voice have the whole chords vibrating. period...

@eustazio Nick Pitera is one of my favorites!

[mradaChris]

@eustazio I think falsetto is too negative a term to use to describe Ryan's higher voice. I like what puccinilover used, "head" voice. There is nothing false about Ryan's voice and it is full sounding too. Most people use "falsetto" because they base it on the note being sung (e.g. it has to be falsetto because it is too high for a male). I'd suggest in using scientific methods to ascertain whether it is falsetto or not.

[mradaChris]

He has a beautiful higher voice! I prefer it over his lower register! Awesome singer!

[eustazio]

my god seth if you don't know about countertenors, believe me you will have lots of new obssessions when you start youtubing them!
