I see falsetto as the foundation of male vocal training

I believe for long term vocal health and good technique they are best off learning that before they even learn chest voice

what about bass singers

because failures in technique are more obvious with falsetto?

i agree with that

that's one reason

another reason is that iti s more durable, you can sing longer in falsetto without wearing out your vocal chords

if you use sufficient power

another reason is falsetto naturally forces you to have a very clean, smooth sound and be very legato with everything

it just forces you to do it right and you can practice it all day

also you cannot belt with falsetto really

therefore if you want to be loud you have to loosen up and let resonance happen

the main thing wrong with singers today is they all use chest voice only and so they become belters, and take it to extremes where they are almost just yelling

If you move from falsetto to that rob halford head voice you can hide problems with technqiue

in my view pop singing is melodic yelling

link on rob halford thing?

I need to hear this

i mean rob halford is just straight up one of the better singers who ever lived

halford is probably the best metal singer of all time

nobody compares to his power

bruce dickinson is annoying by comparison

i will show you the most important music

Halford's voice matured in a good way

have you heard him on their recent album @profagonist

i think his worst is bruce dickinson's best

Actually I think how his voice changed was a bit of tragedy

check out Battle Cry on youtube

i don't see how he gets that top spot

so, to drive home the point earlier, this Judas Priest track shows that his primary departure from classical singing is using less vibrato

and it works

it's honestly one of the better ways to sing great without being a foofy opera singer

yeah halford really made his voice soar on this

hey this is real important

if any of you want to do his style of head voice

the way to train that is to sing with your falsetto as low as possible

and over months and years, it will start to sound like that instead
