Human voice was a good article candidate, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. Once the objections listed below are addressed, the article can be renominated. You may also seek a review of the decision if you feel there was a mistake.

[edit] Falsetto
It's not really accurate to say that falsetto is more difficult to sing well. The reason most men have trouble singing well in falsetto is simply lack of practice. Pretty much any man can learn to sing countertenor if they take lessons and practice.
- If they have to practice to be able to sing well then that mens it doesn't come naturally, meaning it is harder to sing in. A lot of men sing in falsetto but it takes hard work to sing the pitches correctly. 69.217.195.50 01:00, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Different registers
This article has some OK parts, but else it is bullshit... There are more voice registers than the ones mentioned, and the sound comes mainly from the mouth. The methods for finding the voices will not work for anyone, thus you cannot say "this is your head voice".
[edit] request
can someone write-up an anatomical description of the different registers? thank you – ishwar (speak) 01:02, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
Having read this article, I feel reticent to rely on Wikipedia for information henceforth! This article is a botch of poorly understood /explained half-truths. Flute register, for instance, is not even mentioned. By the way, the vocal folds are not called cords, this is misleading (they are essentially tissue folds). Victoria Burmester
- The vocal folds are referred to as cords by the world book encyclopedia, and encarta. Information on the phsyiological mechanisms of the chest voice and falsetto are now added. In the case of falsetto I added the info to falsetto. But i will get around to adding it here.--I'll bring the food 00:28, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Don't complain, just fix it
If you see something wrong or missing in the article, don't just make general complaints on this talk page about how crap the article/wikipedia is. You are a wikipedia editor. Edit. Thparkth 11:07, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anatomical Differences in Chest, Head, and Falsetto voices:
I've heard that the difference between these "voices" has to do with the thickness maintained by the vocal folds as a pitch is sounded:
Chest voice is when your vocal folds are kept thick enough that your chest is your primary resonator.
Head voice is reached when the folds thin to a point that your skull is the primary resonator of the sound rather than your chest (when the folds are thicker).
Falsetto is produced when the vocal folds are at there thinnest, allowing the most flexibility but the least resonance (little skull or chest resonance).
Does somebody have a source for this? I might have a book around somewhere with this info. 67.87.98.164 01:56, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] first paragraphs confuse it with human *language*
which isn't true for all human voices. a human can make voices without having developed any language. phrases like "can create different *meanings*" is what i mean.
- Please sign your posts on talk pages. Meaning can exist without language. Birds and cats make all kinds of sounds which have clear meanings to others of their species, but they don't really have language, depending on how strictly you define that term. Anyway, very few humans exist without language. The sounds made by the human voice are used almost exclusively for communication purposes. —Wahoofive (talk) 17:07, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
