      Kaji, do u think singing is subjective?
      I get mocked by some people because I believe singing is not subjective. Singing has a standard for distinguish a singer and non-singer, amateur and profesional.
      They think that bad or good singing is based on personal liking. I think even though I don't love someone voice, when she she has met the standard that required, then her singing is good .
      They don't even know that (singing in tune) is one of the standard to produce a beautiful voice, and distinguis non singer and a singer.
      And when I said that, they were silent.
      But I personal believe when someone has developed voice or technique, her voice will sound beautiful in everyone's ear.
      But what do you think?

      @@mixedvoice9930 Singing is DEFINITELY not subjective ! I totally agree with you . Singing is first and foremost physiological. Like you said , proper technique is the standard to distinguish an amateur , a good singer or the bests vocalist.
      On the other hand, tone and musicality can be subjective as not every one will like the same timber of voice . I’m not a big fan of Maria Callas B5/C6 because I just don’t like her tone up there but Technically you cannot denied that she is one of the best vocalist of the last 200 years !

      His tessitura is higher than most male but I don't think he is a male soprano because his voice is too heavy, too thick, and too dark. Male Mezzo soprano is correct for me.

    Is there a correlation between voice type and sexuality? especially in male? because i notice, gay men 'tend' to have higher voice than straight men, at least an androgynous tone, i know it's not all true, gay men can have deeper voice too but still it's more often found in gay men....i'm not being offensive, it's just pure curiosity and maybe this is a silly question

      Differences in skull shape etc. between men and women play a part in it. Men also have thicker oropharyngeal isthmus (opening at the back of the mouth into the throat) which is a large part of why men sound different even if they are natural sopranos. That's also why some women like Rosa Ponselle (video on my channel on her as well - classical dramatic soprano) sound they way they do. They got thicker isthmuses. And why someone like Ben Cook has an almost boylike texture to his voice.
