inlovewithlondon Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Hi there! I'm new on this site, but I've already read some of the topics and you all look very sympathic! I just wanted to know one thing: What is a falsetto? I read a lot of those times (mainly about Chris) and I guess it is something with the voice! Hope this question has already been asked...

Mimixxx Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Hey welcome :) A falsetto is a really high pitch of singing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinned Alive Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Ask any man to speak in a woman's voice, and 9 times out of 10 they will use falsetto. It's another register of a man's voice which allows him to speak and sing in a higher pitch... think Justin Hawkins of The Darkness. Chris Martin uses falsetto a lot. Just a few examples:- "yeah we do, yeah we do" in Don't Panic "nobody said it was easy" in The Scientist "I know that everything's not lost" in Everything's Not Lost "so I crawl back into your open arms" in Warning Sign Jeff Buckley and Thom Yorke are two other good examples of singers who use falsetto often.

Gas_Man Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Skinned Alive ^^ that's a very precise answer, i like it. and even though i can't add to it really.., but 'inlovewithlondon', here is something you can try. Try singing a note you can sing with some comfort; and then bend your voice higher, and you'll notice there's a point where just air and no tones seem to be coming out...well, when you reach that point, everything higher is falsetto :cool4: <--That's Skinned Alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlovewithlondon Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 hey! thank you all guys for those answers! i thought it was some kind of that thing because i read it in articles about thom yorke and chris! i tried and accely it's quite easy!! by the way i'm just realising on thing: if anyone saw the film "amadeus" then you must have noticed that the guy who is playing mozart has a great falsetto wehen he laughs .... :) but that was just like a little anecdote...
