Dear Marie,
does that mean hautes contre sing relatively comfortable in a
range which is much lower than counter-tenor and at the same range as
a normal tenor???Do hautes contre have better and easier switching of
head voice to chest voice or the other way round than the counter-
tenors???From what I asume,true counter-tenors are those who don't
use falsetoo to sing their notes and maybe using the same method of
using their head voices like mezzos.The only difference between them
and tenors is that they are singing an octave higher than the tenors.
Nevertheless it is difficult to determine who is the real counter-
tenor cos u must have a really good hearing and deep knowledge of
counter-tenors whether they are actually using falsetoo to sing.
