bart,
i have loaded a file onto the vocalist-temp. website called 'cornell
perry bolton'. the file contains examples of three rock/pop singers who are
singing high pitches in a voice that i don't think is falsetto. these three
exhibit something different from what i think robert plant and ian gillam did
which, i think is some kind of hyper falsetto (or, 'turbo-falsetto' as wim
ritzerfeld called it).
in the examples, cornell's sound is similar to what plant did but, it is
in 'regular' voice. i call it 'regular' as i don't think it meets the
acoustic requirements to be considered 'head' voice but, i certainly think
the vocal folds are probably behaving in the same manner as in 'head' voice.
perry is closer to the classical model but, only for one syllable, really
('arms'). the example from michael bolton is, of course, from 'vesti la
giubba'. regardless of his stylistic infractions, he exhibits some high
notes that are remarkably close to the classical model (certainly closer than
any tenor i went to school with).
