Falsetto (IPA: Italian , General American , RP ) is a singing technique that produces sounds that are pitched higher than the singer's normal range.
An artificially-raised speaking pitch can also be called falsetto. This often occurs momentarily, if repeatedly, in boys during puberty as their voice changes. The break between voice registers, audible or not, is called the passaggio.
Falsetto is produced via expansion and separation of vocal cords where only the edges of the vocal cord vibrate, not the entire vocal cord. Not to be confused with head voice, falsetto is produced when the chords are so tight that they are incapable of producing a resonant sound.
