Vocal Breaks from the Modal to Falsetto Register

Abstract: The study offers measurements of the vocal breaks occurring from the modal to the falsetto register in an untrained barytone. The breaks were achieved by increasing the expired airflow. An analogy with a labial pipe served as a help. The voice phenomena were divided into three regions. In the region of low modal frequencies (A–e) a simultaneous sounding of both the modal and falsetto registers was investigated. This was registered perceptually as vocal roughness. Under special conditions a subharmonic tone was… Show more

“…It is well known that register transitions in untrained singers are accompanied by vocal breaks ͑see, e.g., Švec and Pešák, 1994͒. In our simulations, we find indeed sudden jumps of pitch and amplitudes while varying the tension parameter T smoothly. In computer simulations, the associated phenomenon of hysteresis can be studied more easily than in glissando of singers.…”

“…The adolescent, using a young adult voice with newly lowered fundamental frequency, may experience abrupt changes into higher pitches that are more childlike 6 . In mutational falsetto, the mechanism of pitch breaks is correlated with the onset of uncontrolled changes in vocal performance, vacillating between child and young adult characteristics 3 …”
