What is "falsetto"?
Falsetto is a type of singing voice that reaches pitches higher than the singer's normal range. For male singers, falsetto extends into a range typically associated with a soprano voice, while for female singers, it can reach notes beyond the standard soprano range. This voice quality is often lighter and airier compared to the singer's regular voice. While falsetto is commonly used by male singers to hit higher notes beyond their usual range, female singers also use it to achieve similar high pitches. Falsetto allows singers to explore a wider range of expression and musical variety.

Who is a "falsetto"?
A falsetto is a singer who predominantly uses a high vocal register, achieved by manipulating the vocal cords to produce pitches that exceed their normal vocal range. This voice type can be found in both male and female singers, though it is often associated with male singers who use this technique to reach higher notes with a light, airy quality. Falsettos are known for their ability to perform music with a distinct, ethereal sound, adding a unique dimension to both solo and choral performances. This high register allows them to explore musical ranges and expressiveness beyond their natural voice capabilities.
