Hi,

I'm confused....what is this full voice and pop high notes aren't full voice deal? Full voice to me, is singing NOT in falseto. From chest to head and everywhere in between are all full voice right?, as long as the cords are zipping.

Is Head voice the same as falsetto? Head voice is a higher pitch of ones range in which most of the resonance is in your head right and the cord are almost zip completely right? You can't use these terms interchagibly right?

So...at low notes cords are pulled w/ some tension, and notes get higher as the cords zip closer together going towards your adams apple.

If this is correct than, chest, to mix, (chest and head voice, vocal cords zipped half way?), head (almost zip up all the way), to whistle (almost completely completely zip) are all full voice. What do you guys think?

Dan, don't feel bad,l there are a hundred definitions floatinf around out there. Mixed voice is a tonality choice and the right choice for singing pop songs. You are correct in thinking that it is not falsetto. It's just a mixture between falsetto and full voice, like if you were to be doing a Transcending Tone exercise and were half way or more to full voice. I've hears a lot of teachers refer to falsetto as head voice, but I think in terms of resonance. On lows notes the resonance would be in chest, or chest voice, right at and above your break, the resonance in floating in your throat or the middle voice (although Roger Love refers to a middle voice as the same thing as mixed voice) and your hign notes are in your head, you know, the ones that make you dizzy at times, this is your heas resonance or heard voice. Don't let it bother you. If you wanna sing a pop song, you might be better to use bits of mixed and falsetto. If you want to sing Journey, then you would be between a mixed and full tone. If opera or Iron Maiden, the full voice. If Judas Priest, some full some mixed. If country, you might use bits of all three. it's a style thing. Just sing brother sing ;)

Although rare, it does happen. Your body is one giant tuning fork. So in essence, you are actually resonating everywhere, but certain spots are more dominant, depending upon the pitch.

yeah ha-ha!! i know this sounds strange but i feel
ressonance in my tummy/lower chest like you said. the
head ressonance may be because the hum. is very cool!!
