I can, but the higher and louder I do it (i.e. more tenoriffically),
the more I limit my top. I think most women will report the same
experience, which is why most singers who use their upper voice a lot
will switch before F4. Those that specialize in switching higher have
more of a core, but they limit their options at the top (i.e. Whitney
Houston and hautes contre.) >>
tako,
i wonder if there are really two different kinds of counter-tenors.
one would be the baritone or tenor who, instead of singing the high range in
what is essentially a mix, sing in 'falsetto' (as i call it) and the other
would be the very high voiced tenor who sings the high range in a mix yet, it
sounds very similar to what the former catagory of ct does. it seems to me
that the former would have a bit of trouble going from model voice to
'falsetto' at louder volumes and higher pitches whereas, the latter type
would have no problem going from model to what is really a mix.
i guess this would be the distinction between cts like minter and daniels and
haute contres like russell oberlin. yes, no, maybe?
mike, bass @#$%^& baritone
