When you get to those low notes its natural to switch to your chest voice. Your falsetto voice is meant to sing high notes, and when you sing low enough you automatically try switch to head voice. If you practice you can remove those cracks and switch between head voice and chest voice without a problem. A good example of this are yodeling singer's. They can switch between chest and head voice very quick and is very impressive

I was a band singer in high school and probably due to lack of practice I lost my falsetto register in my 30s. Trying to get its back so I am very grateful for this exercise.

I'm not completely sure where my falsetto starts kicking in, but I imagine it starts hitting around E5 or F5. Because if I start singing up there for a few minutes, my voice will start cracking up there if I sing more. There have been a couple instances where I have been able to sing up A5. I use to be able to sing up to G5 before my voice would start cracking. I think it's because I'm kind of more working on my lower range than my higher range.

Good vid. When I was young I could crank Falsetto notes up to C6 (with effort, for sure). But If you don't use it you lose it. Can't crank higher than F5 anymore (since my 30s! In my 60s now). And THAT almost rips my throat out! I'm talking reinforced Falsetto here. Unreinforced falsetto isn't much good over C5 at all. Singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" in the key the Tokens do it is taxing as hell for me. My current favorite Pop Falsettist is the countertenor for the Korean Quartet "Forestella." Pop-wise, Dimash is really great, too. Russell Thompson Jr of the Stylistics is worth a listen, as an old-schooler.

Wow, thanks for that, I'll will practice it now! 👍🏻😊 Well, I have definitely a problem when it comes to high notes, can't sing them...

Wow! Watching this video made me feel quite stupid. I always knew about this vocal excercise and have done it many times, but I never got the idea to do any vocal excercises in the falsetto register, since it was never taught to me! I instantly felt much more confident in singing with my falsetto and got suprisingly high, to an F sharp!

I'm glad you enjoyed the video Tony. Thanks for watching.

When you access your falsetto in the puppy-dog exercise, you do so at F-sharp, then pitch circle easily down to C & up to G-sharp. You are in falsetto all the time & that's the natural zone where men can 1st access their falsetto. But then you start the "Shee" exercise deep - at A - and sing in head voice. Your head voice starts to struggle where everyone's does - around D natural - & at E you'd topped out. But none of that was in falsetto, because it was too deep for you to access falsetto. You can't easily sing a G-sharp 5, then struggle three minutes later finding a D too high, if you're singing in the same registration. Surely the way to do the Shee exercise must be to start it where you most easily access falsetto - in your case about F-sharp - and work your way *down* until you struggle to stay in falsetto any more, without flicking into head?

Frankie Valli......I used to be able to sing ANYTHING he could sing, I began to lose a lot of the falsetto somewhere in my late 30s early 40s. I'm 69 now and I have not lost any of my high tenor and any of the falsetto I have left is stil strong but l can't do 4 Seasons songs anymore. LOL I miss it. I blew a lot of minds with it.

it is very easy to practice if someone instruct us what to say or read exactly

Hey Dr Dan, thank you for this terrific video; right in time for thinking about our band working on Scissor Sisters' "I don't feel like dancing"...there is falsetto in 95% of that song! What do you think of the difference, if there is one , "tonally" between a male singing that in falsetto, and a female singing that in her upper register, with TA dominance (which incidentally has been done in various covers). To my ears something is lost, or missing, in the nature of the sound if not done in male falsetto. It might just be personal preference?? P.S. Absolutely love the exercises, and your demonstration of them! Cheers, Lin.

Prince’s falsetto was insane. No cap.

If I try to hit really high notes in falsetto my throat my voice becomes squeezed and I end up way off pitch particularly when I try to push through a note. I have the problem of having a deep voice. I have been told before that I will never have the voice to sing those notes and that I should stick to a lower register. Don't be alarmed but I thought you were already in your head voice when I clicked this link. Really.... Its a bane of my existence to be told all your going to be able to sing is examples such as Frank Sinatra or Elvis Presley song. I digress my voice is really squeezed especially if I try to hit a note such as a D5 and sometimes my voice just cracks or is inconsistent. I'm finding it really difficult with my speaking register to relax into high notes. .

I've found that a good way for a bloke to learn how to sing in Falsetto is to practice singing along with female singers in their register, within the song's original key. I've always found lower-ranged females and higher-ranged females much harder to sing along with though, so I've always tended to run with mid-ranged female singers when practicing my Falsetto singing. I guess that'd make my Falsetto register pretty much equivalent to a Mezzo-soprano, right?

What he told me was this: "Don't try and 'hit' or 'reach' high notes. Instead, let your voice glide up to them like a kite in the wind, close your eyes while you're singing and try and picture that kite gliding higher and higher in the breeze with pretty much no trouble whatsoever. That kite is how light ya want your voice to be when singing the highest of notes. That kite's your voice." I've never forgotten that piece of advice in all these years.
