	Finding the Falsetto
		Falsetto is a detour, and singing always imposes detours upon a blank and neutral surge of air.
		Though falsetto was scapegoated, and associated with degeneracy, detour, and artifice, it has long represented a resource: the castrato Tosi speaks of the feigned voice as something "of Use", particularly when it is disguised by art.
		Falsetto is not a sin; the sin is breaking into it undisguisedly.

	Vocalist - Using Falsetto to Access Head Voice
		I have also heard that falsetto singing would be great for the head voice practising.
		I can only report that I use descending scales in falsetto quite a bit with my young male students (college age) as a means for developing the head voice (with which most of them are quite unacquainted when they first arrive) and it seems to work beautifully.
		I think that using descending scales is a great part of the exercises; they must learn how to begin each phrase with the capacity for the highest notes so that an appropriate amount of "head" voice and the correct physiology is available for them no matter where they are in their range.

	Virtual Festival: Hawai'ian falsetto singing
		Falsetto singing, most often used by men, extends the singer's range to notes above their ordinary vocal range.
		As with other aspects of Hawaiian music, it is probable that falsetto developed from a combination of sources, including pre-European Hawaiian chanting and early Christian hymn singing.
		Falsetto may have been a natural and comfortable vocal technique for early Hawaiians, since a similar break between registers called ha'iha'i, is used as an ornament in some traditional chanting styles.

		Falsetto (fall-SET-oh) is a singing technique that produces sounds pitched higher than the singer's normal range.

		Falsetto is employed through the expansion and separation of vocal cords in which case only the edges of the vocal cord vibrate, not the entire vocal cord.

	5 falsettos
		I thought the treatment of the old tune was outstanding-the wavering falsetto lead, the bridge by an alternate lead in normal tone, and back to the falsetto voice.
		The style used mostly on this side is the echoing effect of the falsetto trailing the lead, and the strong performance of this style is the reason that this recording has stood out and become memorable.
		The falsetto is the full lead on this tune and the reach for the highest notes at the ending of the verse nears glass shattering proportions.

	Talk:Falsetto - This Might Be A Wiki
		Letterbox has a somewhat-falsetto voice singing backup during the second verse and bridge, and Where Your Eyes Don't Go has a falsetto harmony vocalizing as the song fades out (and also during the chorus I think).
		That one has no actual falsetto in the lyrics (not even in the chorus), but that haunting vocalising at the end is either someone singing in falsetto, or a synth of some sort.
		I also added Hide Away Folk Family to the "briefly used" list, because there's a (heavily reverbed) sound at the end that's sort of a cross between "hee" and "hoo" that is definitely a falsetto male voice.

		Sometimes he used it for fun, in high-pitched baby talk, as George Rock's comic falsetto had for the vocal in Spike Jones' 1947 novelty hit "All I Want for Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth)." And the reading of "bay-yay-bee" in "Sherry," offers a few seconds of comedy-record crib noise.
		His falsetto is impressive, except in a narrow stripe (three- or four-note range) where he's very thin.

	Chest voice, head voice and Falsetto (Questions about Falsetto.) - Muse's Muse Songwriting Message Board
		if you want to go higher in falsetto then you have to cut back on pressure more and raise the area of resonance some each time, plus more air should pass behind your velum.
		The head voice (women) and falsetto (men) are associated with light, bright singing tones that are higher in pitch and resonate within the upper sinus cavities.
		Also, it would be great if people know any songs that include high chest voice notes, high head voice, or high falsetto notes by men or women.
