Head Voice vs Falsetto: Understanding Vocal Mechanics & Pitch Control

The Vocal Cord Difference

Falsetto: Vocal folds remain slightly un-zipped/open, allowing excess air to escape, creating a airy, soft high tone.
Head Voice: Vocal folds maintain complete cord closure while ringing in nasal and skull resonance cavities, producing a strong, ringing high pitch!

Connecting Head Voice to Chest Voice

Practice gentle siren slides on an 'NG' sound (like in the word *sing*) to smooth out vocal register flips.
