lloyd,
thanks for you response re: 'loft' vs. 'head voice'. all these terms we and 'they' use, drive me nuts. they all seem based on the coiner's personal perceptions.
you wrote:
"In my opinion, "loft" voice IS used commonly by singers who are amplified as a means of reducing the "singers formant" and providing the desired "speech" quality of their performances."
in my experience with singers who regularly use amplification, none of them know what 'singer's formant' is and, almost none of them care. (some just see it as the lead-guitarist/sound man' problem.) when i come across a singer who is using falsetto or, something like it, they are more often using it to solve range problems. unfortunately, the world of pop music seems to be allergic to tranposition. yes, it is a nightmare for guitarists and bassists to tranpose more than a step but, with gadgets like the roland vg80 available, they still seem oddly opposed to it. oh well.
