Voice teacher here. I just published a piece about the value of falsetto, which is especially valuable for us lower voices who have sung too heavy for too long!

This is the title of my second article on Substack.

I'm a professional baritone at San Francisco Opera and this is about the actual physics of why male voices fail above F#4 — not the usual metaphors.

Most singers are using exactly the right strategy below that note and exactly the wrong strategy above it. The harder you push the worse it gets because you're fighting the physics instead of using them.

Covers the Bernoulli effect, cricothyroid mechanics, and a two-tube acoustic solution that lets the physics do the work instead of your muscles.

I'm a professional opera singer and vocal coach with 20 years of experience.

Throughout my career, I've focused on solidifying and demystifying vocal concepts, moving away from vague empirical imagery and focusing instead on raw vocal mechanics and acoustic physics.

I recently put together an in-depth technical breakdown looking at the actual physics behind efficient singing—specifically focusing on subglottic pressure management, the Bernoulli principle, and how acoustic inertance assists the vocal folds.

If you're tired of being told to just "sing in the mask" without a mechanical explanation of what that actually means, I've mapped out the anatomy and the physics.

Enjoy!
