  2. Vocal register - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_register

    A vocal register is a range of tones in the human voice produced by a particular vibratory pattern of the vocal folds. These registers include modal voice (or normal voice), vocal fry, falsetto, and the whistle register. [1] [2] [3] Registers originate in laryngeal function. They occur because the vocal folds are capable of producing several ...

  3. Register (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_(music)

    A "register" of the human voice, such as whistle register, is a series of tones of like quality originating through operation of the larynx.The constituent tones result from similar patterns of vibration in the vocal folds, which can generate several different such patterns, each resulting in characteristic sounds within a particular range of pitches. [1]

  4. Belting (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belting_(music)

    Belting, or belt voice, as a vocalism has no specific origin that is easily traceable to one specific source. [3] Belting can be found all over the world in music from many different cultures. Some prominent examples of this include Mexican, African and Middle Eastern musical traditions.

  5. Voice crossing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_crossing

    In music, voice crossing is the intersection of melodic lines in a composition, leaving a lower voice on a higher pitch than a higher voice (and vice versa). Because this can cause registral confusion and reduce the independence of the voices, [ 1 ] it is sometimes avoided in composition and pedagogical exercises.

  6. Vocal range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_range

    Vocal range is the range of pitches that a human voice can phonate.A common application is within the context of singing, where it is used as a defining characteristic for classifying singing voices into voice types. [1]

  7. Music theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_theory

    The Oxford Companion to Music describes three interrelated uses of the term "music theory": The first is the "rudiments", that are needed to understand music notation (key signatures, time signatures, and rhythmic notation); the second is learning scholars' views on music from antiquity to the present; the third is a sub-topic of musicology ...

  8. Voice analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_analysis

    Voice problems that require voice analysis most commonly originate from the vocal folds or the laryngeal musculature that controls them, since the folds are subject to collision forces with each vibratory cycle and to drying from the air being forced through the small gap between them, and the laryngeal musculature is intensely active during speech or singing and is subject to tiring.

  9. Voice type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_type

    Voice classification is a tool for singers, composers, venues, and listeners to categorize vocal properties and to associate roles with voices. While useful, voice classification systems have been used too rigidly, i.e. a house assigning a singer to a specific type and only casting him or her in roles they consider belonging to this category.
