Head voice and falsetto are different?
Head voice and falsetto are definitely not the same at all! Falsetto is a co-ordination where the vocal cords are separated and therefore a sound that you cannot lean or press into. True head voice is a co-ordination where close to a third of the cord is vibrating while the rest is “zipped” up. In falsetto, there is a break when you come back down into your lower notes while in head voice, there is no break. It’s a seamless connection from low to high and vice-verse. Falsetto is also the reason why many feel they have no breath support and need more diaphragm breathing exercises in order to sing well. Browse our Technique section for more.
