FINALLY!!! SOMEONE WHO GETS IT!
Dr. Hanson's treatise is the single greatest post on falsetto. It
is patently correct in every way. It should be read and re-read.
We should work on having someone record demonstrations of the
sounds, both female and male so that there will be examples and
audial reference for these questions.
The important thing I have to add is that falsetto is not just a
register for definitions. It's something that should be developed
because the action which takes place during the execution of pure
falsetto is an essential part of a complete, balanced sound...and
the only way to achieve what is the final test of a singer--messa di
voce. Not just getting louder and then softer. The ability to
truly swell and diminish any note, on any vowel, with no change in
clarity or timbre--just intensity. Few singers have ever been able
to do this. But it's worth working for.
