All that matters is what sound you're after....call it batman if you like."
I can build a house as long as I have the supplies as well as the tools and the know how. I don't have to know the names of each tool. Actually, I could probably even use a railroad spike to hammer nails instead of a hammer. All that matters is the finished product. Especially since it's "MY PRODUCT" I do what I want.
The only time I could see names coming into play is if I was working with someone else. Then it would help in communication. But even then, the names wouldn't matter as long as we both understood what the other was talking about. We could even change the names daily and it would never affect the finished product.

I never really liked calling a non airy falsetto a separate name because we never call an airy chest voice a different name. But I use different terms interchangeably because of the culture. So at the time of the video there, I thought people would resonate more with "non-breathy falsetto" definition which is what most call headvoice nowadays, and also because the video was made in response to a question on the TMV forum so I was using the terms the original poster was familiar with. LMAO watching it now i seem so pissed off in the vid hahahahaha it's hilarious!!!

The old definition of headvoice is pretty much what people call mixed voice today. I prefer to either use mix voice or say head RESONANCE (which I got from Jaime Vendera) because it helps clarify that you are shifting resonance not "voice registration"

I also change my terms for the singer I'm training with according to what makes sense to them. I know many people relate to the modern definition of headvoice more so I tend to use that. But I personally lately have been preferring to just keep it simply and say "full voice or falsetto". at the end of the day it doesn't matter what you call the things, what matters is making sure it is demonstrated so the listener knows what you mean. I could call the terms batman and robin and still have them make sense by just demonstrating it , so call it whatever you want! I think in future when we talk about headvoice we should clarify if we are talking about falestto or the full voice mixing sensation. :D

Laugh

Ok so I watched this video way back when I was searching for singing methods about a year ago and discovered your channel.

I'm just wondering, did your views on falsetto/head voice change throughout the years as you developed as a singer/coach? On this video ^^^ you used the "modern" definition of head voice and falsetto. I would be really interested to see why you adopted the classical "old" definition of head voice. Was it because people were confusing the goals of the programs they were using vs. the goals of what students actually want because of the terminology?

Very good video. This is how I have been taught as well and it resonates with how I feel it working for me. Should be posted on all "headvoice vs falsetto" argument topics for reference :)
