Talk:Voice type

message: I was under the impression that the term counter tenor referred to singers who had trained their falsetto voice to be powerful enough and have sufficient range to cover much of the music written for castrati. I think of Alfred Deller as the pioneer of this voice type on stage (though I believe it was common in English church choirs before then). With this definition adult male sopranos or trebles whose voice never broke are not countertenors. What is the correct definition; the countertenor page is not clear? Perhaps a similar question is whether castrati are counter tenors, and I think the answer is clearly "no". Dumbledad (talk) 11:34, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The article Countertenor gives some explanation and discusses male sopranos and altos; further questions might be better discussed at Talk:Countertenor. As for  at Voice type where you added: "Treble: Tough rare, a grown-man may not progress from his boyhood voice. This condition is known as Puberphonia." Do you know of any professional singers using such a voice? If not, that section should be removed as this article deals with singing voices in classical music. Further: how is puberphonia distinguished from Kallmann syndrome, which is mentioned here for male sopranos? If there are indeed classical singers affected by puberphonia, they might best be mentioned in the "Countertenor" section instead of being covered in a two-sentence paragraph "Treble". And as always, sources are essential. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 12:13, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I do not know how how is puberphonia is distinguished from Kallmann syndrome, other than that neither page mentions the other (weak reason, I know) and the adult mae treble I met (who explicitly did not consider himself a counter tenor) is not professional and I cannot find supporting references. While I try to get better evidence or explanations I'll remove the article addition. 13:36, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

message: A discussion is taking place at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Opera#Is Alto a voice type? (where I thought it would have some good visibility); please drop by to lend your "voice". Cheers, all. Prhartcom (talk) 19:43, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Opera: Is Alto a voice type? 

message: The article mentions scientific testing several times but does not define it. Is it talking about recording a singing voice and applying an analyzer, for instance? Is there anything like x-ray or ultrasound imaging of the larynx, used to judge a singers potential or optimal range? Someone with expertise in this area would do the article a solid by filling in these blanks. ~ Alcmaeonid (talk) 10:20, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
