Farce of Nature
So I’m driving home and I’m listening and singing along to Operation Mindcrime, and I notice the points where Geoff Tate breaks into falsetto.. Is it possible to achieve a good falsetto tone from practice and technique, or is it some innate talent that some of us have and some of us don’t?
And if good tone can be developed for this range, then can the strength of the falsetto be developed as well? How is it that some people can maintain the same volume and intensity in both ranges? Or is it their mic technique that evens out the level?
All I know is that my falsetto sounds worse than the Bee Gees, which has discouraged me from trying to sing that way and instead singing in my normal chest register.. Plus, if I try to sing falsetto as loud as my other ranges I feel considerably more strain on my vocal cords.
Although I’m fairly comfortable in my current vocal technique, it would be nice if I could sing higher and sound good doing it instead of taking everything down an octave, which sounds adequate but dampers my confidence..
