| Marthea, A general rule that I have used is if the student cannot crescendo to a forte, then they are most likely in falsetto. I have known some tenors who could sing a sound that I would say was falsetto, and could crescendo on it, but they have been rare in my experience(such that it is...). David Grogan

If it does then there is probably some adduction, allowing for a wider range
of partials which can resonate at formant frequencies. That's what I think."
I have a question. How many of you can tell when a male voice is singing in
falsetto? I've encountered a few men who go into "head" (I think) and I'm
just not sure which it is. Your comment, John, makes me think that if it
sounds full and rich then it can't possibly be falsetto. Aside from the
sound (and being able to peer into someone's throat) is there a way the
singer himself knows that he's singing in falsetto? I'm not disputing your
thoughts. I just don't have a great deal of experience working with the
male voice and am trying to learn more about it!
Thanks!
