This video helped a lot in understanding this. Thank you very much, I may watch more of your videos in the future when I get time to improve my singing.

    Brilliance. This video goes hand in hand with other great works about how to ‘access’ vocal registers, especially the part about stating the vocal cord lengthener/shortener muscles as antagonistic muscles. I wonder why I never thought of the “mysterious ability to sing high notes comfortably” in guys as simply the muscle memory to disengage a muscle in favor of allowing a opposing muscle to act, which is essentially the same as stopping a limb from flexing reflexively. Despite this video not talking about how to get better at ‘choosing’ your vocal registers, it truly points a inexperienced singer such as myself towards a direction they can clearly visualize and comprehend, as long they have the most basic knowledge of anatomy.

    This has been the best video I have found for explaining this, because every video has explained it as chest, head, and mixed with hard it is to find your mixed voice. I have practically zero vocal training, but I have a very powerful voice and enjoy karaoke (my KJ has to turn my mic down compared to everyone else because I have trouble getting power at lower volumes. I have a strong lower registry and a strong falsetto, but my higher register needs work, and I never liked the way others described it. This helped a lot.

    Wow! I have never heard Head and Chest voice articulated so well. You are a very gifted voice teacher! I guess using these in a song comes with practice and knowing what you want to communicate in a particular song. Sometimes I will engage my CT muscles early (maybe Db) at a particular passage in a song becuase I don't want it sound overbearing but a little softer. Does that kind of sound like I'm on the right track as far as using this information in a song? Thanks again. I love your channel and find it very helpful!

    Hello this is the first time I watched your channel and it was very helpful. I watched the 5 things to avoid if we don't want to loose our voice.wow I always sang even sick .no idea I was causig harm to my voice.Another thing. .I used to live in a tropical country and when I moved to a all seasons area I noticed I need to use hats and scarves during all the fall and winter. I lost my registry sound during the first winters at this area and during pregnancy ... so upsetting...well years passed I learned to protected myself from the cold the babies are 8 and 6 and I'm happy to have my voice in working condition. I dont have a voice coach to help me since 2005 .. so was thinking in getting one to help me. I'm singing more often at my church and I'm seeing that stressful moments like funerals weddings and touchy moments when I'm emotional can have a tol on my voice so I need to go back to exercising and really use my voice as an instrument.

    Great video Dr Dan, really interesting and helpful way of breaking down the Voice's mechanics. One thing I wanted to query though was when you said that the Pulse and Falsetto Registers were either completely TA or CT/CA but I feel like the opposing muscle can still be used in these registers. For example I can get what I think is a more TA muscle sound out of my Falsetto (Less Breathy, more wholesome/resonant sound) register and whilst underdeveloped I can get a light fry sound in what feels like my upper register. I'm still new to singing and I do find all of this really interesting. Am I getting this mixed up or does this topic go deeper then this video. Thanks Dr Dan.

    Dean, according to Thurman and Welch the only way to access pulse is to be TA only and the only way to access true falsetto is to be CT/CA only. All other sounds are a 'mix' of the musculature.

    Actually it is, whistle is an extended falsetto, both genders are capable of doing it. However super head voice (which sound like a fuller/richer whistle) is and extended head voice again both genders are able to sing this except males in superhead. Falsetto and whistle are disconnected registers. Super head voice and head voice are connected

    As I mentioned before, I'm getting lessons from a classically trained church musician who is coaching me as a choir singer. I'd like to improve my ability to sing contemporary styles too, just for fun. My teacher has never mentioned the different registers, which I guess means I must be naturally singing everything we do in mixed and/or head voice, because as a choir soprano if I were in chest voice presumably she would correct me. The trouble is, not having any quality recording equipment, I don't know exactly what I sound like outside my own head, and I can't even tell if I HAVE a chest voice/lower register in anything but my lowest notes right now. When I sing contemporary songs, I think I sound mixed all the way through, but I'm not sure without anyone qualified to tell me and without being able to hear a good recording. My voice type seems to be closest to soubrette or light lyric. It gets described as 'light' and 'pure'. Is it common for sopranos of those types to naturally sing everything in mixed or head voice, or to struggle to develop a chest voice? Or am I possibly just not recognising my chest voice because of the unusual tone it has?

    I don't like the term falsetto as you used it. For me it is a breath production, one that can be produced in a high or low tone. I have heard both so I know it can be done. For me falsetto would be the production of very few overtones. Even whistle register shows up with few overtones when using a spectral analyzer.

    Hello Doctor Dan; I found this to be a really informative video. I am one of those guys who neglected their upper voice and flipped straight from chest to falsetto (usually around an F/F#4). I'm doing university level singing now (2nd year of my degree, in Melbourne)... and I'm working on the upper part of my voice - however, it's incredibly breathy and weak - it sounds like my chest voice but up an octave and a bit... rather than the hooty/hollow falsetto sound. I want to feel as though I'm on the right track; but it is honestly getting me down - because I don't know how long it will be until it's a usable sort of register. Soft sirens are mostly smooth with no clunks, breaks or excess air. But vowels are not. I don't really know where I'm going with this; I guess I'm just frustrated with myself... for not trying to work on the tilt/thin fold mechanism earlier. Was it difficult for you to train this part of your voice?

    As a fan of yours I have to be in desagreement for the first time as both males and females have falsetto and both have whistle voice. Whistle/flute voice cannot be interchangeable not even based on gender. Trained voices can take their headvoice higher than falsetto (I can). I also find difficult to aknowledge pulse and falsetto as registers according to my research and my experience, except for my bottom 2 semitones that at this moment I can only do using pulse. Nevertheless I fully embrace your physiological explanation and your quality and awesomness as a singer and teacher.

    People are getting confused. There is no debate that males and females cannot sing in a said register (accept maybe super head voice for males), Its just that in classical music falsetto and headvoice are gender specific terms. Both are actually referring to same register and both involve same muscles. They call male head voice falsetto because how dramatic of a change in tone it is for males. What we call "falsetto" and "whistle register" in contemporary music are a separate disconnected high registers which again both genders can do.

    Hi Dr Dan! I am male singer age 20 with a pretty rough vocal break. I have been working on mixing head voice with chest voice, and keeping my head voice non-airy and strong. When you spoke of the pulse Pulse register and how it sounds kind of raspy since your cords are in use but not completely touching, I realized that I am having that issue when I try to sing higher quietly. So for some reason I don't think my vocal cords are completely touching.... Do you have any idea of why or how to fix it? My larynx is kept low and I feel like my neck muscles are relaxed, but for some reason I get the pulsing in my break.

    Hi Matt, I think i know what you are talking about as I've been having something similar when I've been learning how to sing in mixed voice and smooth over my break. I don't think you are talking about vocal fry as that's lower than chest voice. I think what is going on is the crackle that comes with issues to do with coordination problems as you go over the break - ie between those muscles Dan was talking about. My teacher explained the sound as coming from the vocal chords are a bit out of synch if i remember correctly . Its only happening because you are still learning to master the transition over the break. If I remember correctly the answer lies in keeping the vowel in a forward placement and avoiding tension in the larynx. If you don't know how to get the vowels to come forward, then you probably need to sort this with a teacher. If you are not doing it naturally, i don't think there's any other way to learn it. Dan should be able to help you with it over skype. My teacher is with skype now and he's brilliant so I am sure you can find someone to help you one way or another. Actually I've even come to the conclusion that you can't learn how to sing properly without a teacher. I think its well worth it and would highly recommend it for anyone who thinks they have a good starting voice and wants to develop their voice.
