falsetto

how exactly can you tell when someone is singing falsetto? ive looked into it a bit but only to learn what the term means and how the technique works, i havnt looked at any videos though.

When i man sings it it, it sounds airy, and less loud. Unless they reinforce it like judas priest... Best way to tell... If theyre hitting notes way above a male range and theyre not steve perry, theyre using falsetto or head voice...

if they're singing falsetto it's very very obvious that they're using a falsetto voice.

don't quote me on it, but i think by definition "falsetto" is a different voice from your normal singing voice.

You can hear the falsetto part easily when you listen to a yodeler. He is alternating pitch from the chest register to the head register.

From Wikipedia: All human voices are considered to have at least two distinct vocal registers, called the "head" and "chest" voices, which result from different ways that the tone is produced[2]. Most people can sing tones within a certain range of lower pitch in their chest voices and tones within a certain range of higher pitch in their head voices (also called "falsetto").

Ever heard the Bee Gees?

Too late, I am. Me singing in a different voice could be singing in a pigs snoting voice. Or in a birds.

there is head and chest. In fact many singer mainly sing in falsetto or head voice (although theyre not the same) so then chest would be different...
