falsettos

Falsetto is a vocal technique where a singer produces high-pitched tones by engaging only the thin, edge-like parts of their vocal cords, rather than the full, thick cords used in normal singing. This results in a light, airy sound that can reach notes beyond the singer’s usual range. It’s often used for expressive effect or to achieve higher notes that are difficult to sing in full voice. While common in many singing styles, falsetto requires precise control to sound smooth and intentional rather than strained.
