    Actually, :) when James sings the word "dream" he is in his 'voce mista' (It., "mixed voice"). The voce mista has characteristics of both the head and chest registers because it is like singing with the chest voice in head-voice range.

    Personally, I don't know how he does it. Live, however, he usually does that part in falsetto. He's human after all. :)

    > difference? James RARELY uses his head-voice (which is sometimes called > "falsetto").

    Actually, head voice and falsetto are different things. Head voice, or 'voce di testa' in the Italianate school, is what occurs when the vocal cords cease tensing to raise the pitch, and begin adducting to raise the pitch. (By comparison, chest voice, or 'voce di petto,' which includes the normal speech range, relies upon the tensing of the vocal folds to raise the pitch. This however, only works up to a certain point.)

    Think of a guitar string; turning the tuning peg causes the string to rise in pitch. There comes a point where the string is pulled so tight that to tighten it further would seriously hinder the vibration of the string, and thus, the pitch. At this point you would, naturally, fret the string in order to raise the pitch without seriously affecting sustain. The process of the vocal folds adducting is akin to fretting the string.

    What happens to the folds during adduction is this: during phonation in chest voice, the cords are open, loose, and thick. To raise the pitch, the singer uses his laryngeal muscles to tug at the ends of the vocal folds, causing them to tense and thin. During this process, there is a point at which the chest resonance diminishes in favor of head resonance. This point is called the 'primo passaggio.' The singer tenses the cords further, all the while losing chest resonance and gaining head resonance. Just before the point beyond which the cords cannot tense any more (which you'll know from the physical discomfort!), they will begin to close, but only at one end, like a zipper. This point is the 'secondo passaggio,' and pitches that lie from there up are in head voice. Head voice is generally louder, more resonant, and more air-efficient than chest voice.

    I would say that James sings about 85-90% of what he sings in head voice.

    How do you get your cords to adduct? *heavy sigh* I don't know. It's like vibrato, it's one of those perfectly natural occurrences that you have to practice practice practice to get right (although adduction will take a hell of a lot longer to grasp that vibrato!). If you can think of a quick and easy method of getting people to adduct their cords, let me know.

    > Women supposedly do not have a falsetto.

    Women will tell you that they don't, but I think they do. Most female singers of the soprano or mezzo-soprano variety are singing in what would be considered in the male voice as reinforced falsetto. (Falsetto with a lot of heady, nasal resonance.) Women have about the same number of registers as men, but their head voice is much smaller than men's. Practically negligible.

    > With vocal training it is possible to make the transition between one's > chest-voice and head-voice practically seamless. Then again, one of my > opera-trained friends says that James has four different singing voices. I > think that's a load of crap.

    Actually, I think James has AT LEAST 4 voices that he uses, but they tend to fall into the same registers as anyone else's voice.

    I think there are 6 registers to the human voice:

    *Vocal fry: the low, scrape-y sound that James uses to begin words on the first verse of "Voices" Chest voice: "Friday evening/The blood still on my hands..." Mixed voice: Victoria's voice in "Strange Deja Vu" Head voice: just about everything, in particular "Condescending/Not intending to end..." from IF Falsetto: the "crying" sounds at the end of "Through Her Eyes"

    The remaining register is called Whistle Tones, and it is the sound of air actually whistling through an open larynx. Not many people, especially men, can control it, much less do it. Think Mariah Carey on her early albums.

    *Vocal fry, while not harmful to the voice unless forced or overdone, is practically unusable (except for little things like this).

    James also adds the rasp (different from vocal fry) to his head, mixed or chest voices to make that many more colors on his palette. For an idea of the raspy mixed voice, see DT on this tour and listen when James sings "...we'll lay DOWN today..." in One Last Time.

    > Lots of people can say "I like James' voice" or "I don't like James' voice," > but they rarely talk about the subject with the depth or passion or insanity > of a ravenous bunch of guitar players comparing Morse's legato technique with > Petrucci's.

    Hehehe, I could go on for days.

    BTW, if I happened to shoot down anyone's perception of what singing is, don't be disheartened; far better singers than I have misunderstood these concepts.

    I actually didn't realize it would be such a problem - Next time, I will make sure to get there early myself. Like I said, if anybody had said anything to me while I was there, I would have seriously considered moving. As it was, people told me that they were cool with it, but that could also be because they were also in the front of the line. :)

    Korgy, you are way, way off the mark equating musical snobbery to racism. You don't see Aqua fans offing Marilyn Manson fans in the streets of our cities. You don't hear about Mozart-loving segments of the population crying over 200 years of oppression at the hands of staunch Haydn suppourters. Similarly, Oak Ridge Boys fans will not protest or riot at a Garth Brooks show on account of the fact that their band is "pure" or whatever. While musical snobbery is indeed prevalent, I, Mr. musical snob, often find *my* musical tates to be the subject of ridicule from the Britney Spears set, not the other way around, as you would imply. It seems it's uncool to listen to anything that requires thought, or the slightest bit of attention; i.e. if it's longer than three minutes, doesn't have the generic ngh-chicka-ngh-chicka beat, or have the words "baby" or "love" in the lyrics, it sucks. The shitty thing is that art as a whole has become a disposable commodity to most people now, though they don't realize it. Uniqueness is no longer lauded unless it translates into big bucks. Dali's "Arrival of Christopher Columbus.." is no longer a stirring, one-of-a-kind piece of art, it's a print run off by the millions that anyone can buy at Wal Mart for $19.95. Don't you find it the least bit sickening that world-class orchestras play to half packed houses or that OFB resides at #800 on the record charts because the "shitheads" (pronounced shi-TEEDs) continue to allow corporate America (or Canada or UK...) to make all of their decisions for them? People don't like the BSB's beacause they think they're cool, they like them because *somebody else told them* that they think it's cool.

    Possibly, but at least we're just using the oxygen we've managed to pollute the shit out of anyway.. Besides, we're making MORE oxygen... didn't you know that smog is made of ozone, which a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms? The way I see it, we're just making more "oxygen efficient" air... :)

    Agreed, but there are plenty of crooked cops and military guys in this country who would just LOVE to turn around and sell those guns out of the backs of vans anyway. Restriction is not a solution... after all, sale of alcohol is technically restricted to people 21 and over, and we all know how well THAT law is upheld...

    Well, I live in Flint, MI and am very close to Beecher, and I have to agree with you man. But I must ask one question. Where in the fuck were this kids parents!?! He stole a damn gun in december and no one knew!?! How do you do that. And it's not like a six year olds pockets are big enough to conceal an entire gun in so how did the teachers not see it? I guess maybe the fact that his dad is an ex-con may have something to do with it. Trajedy strikes once again, and now it's even closer to home. So does that mean now more people are going to try to protect themselves and we'll have more gun-toting dipshits around? I guess we'll see folks. 'Till a later day.....

    Man, some of you germans are touchy...you can toss around Andrew Jackson's name as much as you want (one of the American Presidents responsible for relocation and deaths of countless native americans) and it's no skin off my ass cause I know it had nothing to do with me. :)

    I know the Giant thread is dead and gone, but I just read my backlog of about 40 jams. So, I'm going to throw in my 2 cents and a additional fact about Giant that no one else seemed to mention.

    I agree with all the Giant fans out there......they were very good and I still listen to both the albums.

    Apparently no one out there knows about the pre-Giant history of the Huff brothers (guitaist & drummer of Giant). No, they weren't session musicians or studio players, they were in a christian rock band......called, White Heart. That was in the late 80's and they played a mellowish rock style. Not really my taste, but they weren't bad. They left White Heart to start Giant which lead to producing. Interestingly, White Heart continued to make christian rock albums well into the 90's with a rotational cast of musicians.
