	Human voice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The chest voice is the register typically used in everyday speech.
		The middle voice, also known as the "blend" or "mix," is the term used in the Bel Canto Opera singing method and Speech Level Singing to describe the range of notes which marks the crossover between the chest and head registers.
		Head voice is different from falsetto in that it is possible to connect it to the chest voice.

	Voice - LoveToKnow 1911
		The centre of innervation is in the medulla oblongata, and this is dominated by a centre in the Rolandic region of the cerebral cortex.
		At the age of puberty the larynx grows rapidly, and the voice of a boy " breaks " in consequence of the lengthening of the cords, generally falling an octave in pitch.
		Eunuchs retain the voices of childhood; and by careful training it is possible in normal persons to arrest the development of the larynx so that an adult male can still sing the soprano parts sometimes used in cathedral choirs.

		The middle voice, also known as the "blend", is the term used to describe the range of notes which marks the crossover between the chest and head voices.
		It is a difficult register to sing accurately in, and it tends to be rather quiet.
		Voice problems that require voice analysis most commonly originate from the vocal cords since it is the sound source and is thus most actively subject to tiring.

	Categories of Voice
		This is an area of the voice which is situated between one register and another, when the voice breaks or drops a note consistently in the same area, it is usually considered to be a transition point or Passaggio between one register and another, i.e., from a heavy voice to a light voice.
		Creaky voice (also called laryngealisation or vocal fry, especially in the US), is a special kind of phonation in which the arytenoid cartilages in the larynx are drawn together; as a result, the vocal folds are compressed rather tightly, becoming relatively slack and compact, and forming a large, irregularly vibrating mass.
		The falsetto register is used by male countertenors to approximate the register in classical voice that previously employed castrati, in pieces written before castratism became socially unacceptable and eventually universally outlawed.

	Singing
		The human voice as a musical instrument combines a non-uniform acoustic tube resonator (the vocal tract) with a forced, ``lip-like'' excitation mechanism (the vocal folds).
		While female voices are generally pitched about an octave higher than male voices, the formants usually differ by less than a musical third (less than 25% in frequency).
		Voice registers correspond to differences in tone caused by different adjustments of the larynx.

	Karaoke apparatus detecting register of live vocal to tune harmony vocal - Patent 5876213
		The register or the melody line of the singing voice is detected in terms of the pitch zone to which the singing voice belong.
		The singing voice signal denoted by numeral 3 is fed to the mixer 7, a voice analyzer 4, a voice processor 5, and a harmony generator 2.
		The harmony voice signal is generated by shifting the pitch of the harmony part data at a certain degree (normally an octave) depending on the musical register in which the singer is actually singing the vocal part.

		It is known to have three different regions: the naso-pharynx (located behind the nose), the oro-pharynx (located in the rear of the mouth), and the laryngo-pharynx (behind the throat).
		The middle voice also extends to the inclusion of the vocal mask and a warm, heady sound.
		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.

	Mixed Voice - How to Develop? - Muse's Muse Songwriting Message Board
		I heard a lot about mixed voice as well; and recently it has been taught by a lot of vocal technicians as the healthiest way to sing for pop singers who are have to resort to the "belt" to showcase vocal power.
		Singing in the middle register is the ability to sing smoothly in the area where a natural break occurs between chest to head voice (ie: from a heavy to a lighter voice)...
		The mixed voice (the ability to blend one's registers so that there are no transitions from your chest to head voice) is then really created when a singer sings throughout their range, or more specifically in that zone of transition where a vocal bridge would normally happen.

	Popsinger, vocal and voice trainer. You are the star (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		An often-discussed register of both the speaking and singing voice besides vocal fry, chest, and falsetto is the "head" voice.
		The "head voice" may be accompanied by a sensation of sound (heard or felt) in, around, or in front of the upper portion of the head.
		Many techniques are used to blend the registers, and all must address (1) coordinating the muscles of the larynx to prevent voice breaks, and (2) maintaining the acoustic pressures in the airways to avoid undesirable quality changes.

	Grandi Tenori.com \| Reflections on Andrea Bocelli (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The registers are ample, from dark, ringing notes in the low and middle registers to easy top notes.
		In this context, although the voice itself is capable of expression, Bocelli’s singing line is intermittent, shifting from meritorious fervour to strange passivity and interpretive inertia that are very evident and painful.
		The voice would be resplendent in concerts and on records, whilst, in live operatic performances, characterisation and deportment would be rather dubious, mainly due to the notorious physical handicap.

	Schiller Institute -Music Chart of Human Vocal Registers
		As Leonardo indicated in his treatise on the human voice, bel canto singing can be compared to painting, because of the conscious use of 'colors' in the voice, either as natural colors (conferred by the different registers), or as a conscious change of color for purposes of interpretation.
		Generally, the audience will perceive a clear register shift from the second to the third, high register (particularly in the tenor voice, which is stronger), as a change in color, (See Bergonzi program.
		The register shifts are located between the intervals,such as F to F#, rather than precisely on a tone itself.

		Fields describes the tessitura of a voice as "the purest, most facile and singable portion of the vocal range in which its most useful and most powerful tones lie." The section on "temperament on timbre" is vague and subjective enough to unusable.
		William Vennard was for many years the chair of the voice department at the University of Southern California and the President of the National Association of Teachers of Singing.
		In the chapter on registration, there is a subsection on "the classification of voices." Vennard has much to say here that is simple common sense and does not abstract the subject from the realities of the classroom and the young or undeveloped voice.

	Voice Registers: Chest, head and other voices at Vocalist.org.uk
		This tutorial on Voice Register is aimed at the complete beginner, who we suggest should read the article on Passaggio next!
		First of all the singer has to understand that there is only one set of vocal cords which are used in conjunction with the rest of the vocal mechanism (resonating spaces, airflow, support) to produce sound.
		The sound of the voice can vary considerably in range, colour, tone, pitch and registry breaks, sometimes to such an extent that it appears as if the untrained singer has a bottom, middle and top 'voice', each of which may display differences in timbre or quality.

		The notion of literary or of philosophical voice speaks to a paradox of writing, that writing is at once a record and an effacement of a voice.
		Silent, impersonal, writing tends to diminish the singular operation of a voice, and yet, something of a voice remains.
		For voice is not just sound, but accent, tempo, and phrasing, all of which find a measure of shelter in writing.

	Passaggio: An introduction to voice transitions and bridges at Vocalist.org.uk
		Passaggi, passaggio, passagio, passage, bridge, crossing, break and yodel spot are all terms used to describe the transition area between a series of notes, usually occuring between registers of the voice (i.e., between the chest voice and the head voice or middle to the high notes of the vocal range).
		The terminology can be particularly confusing to beginners as the term Registers tends to imply that the singer has 'several' voices whilst the words bridge, passaggio and break are also used by some people to describe ANY area of the voice where the singer encounters difficulties.
		This is because both male and female voices vary considerably in range and voice type whilst the placement of the passaggio can also change with the type of vowel sound used and through changing techniques.
