sorry martti,
the title of roger love's book is 'set your voice free' (must be the lead in our water).
<< How? As far as I've been heard the voice that rock singers use is not falsetto but head voice and they should be different things. And I think the sounds in question are produced in different ways. And isn't it the same with classical singers, of course with exception of counter tenors? >>
it depends on who you are talking about. robert plant used what is sometimes refered to as reinforced falsetto. the big difference between falsetto and head voice is contact of the vocal folds. head voice sounds like falsetto with a 'ping, buzz, squeek, other' and feels more resistant than falsetto.
steve perry, sting, paul mccartney all use head voice in their high ranges. the late jeff buckley switched back and forth between head and falsetto.
classical instruction is not the best way to increase range. most classical teachers will tell you that most rock singers are tenors and that if you wish to sing that high you must be a tenor. it has been my experience that this is not true.
