Whistle register: Difference between revisions

In [[European classical music]], the whistle register is used primarily by coloratura sopranos. Many parts in the coloratura soprano repertoire extend beyond "high C" and often extend up to high F (F₆ or 1396.9 Hz). Although many coloratura sopranos use whistle tone vocal production to sing these notes, some operatic sopranos are capable of singing up to "high F" without utilizing the vocal production associated with the whistle register but remaining in the [[modal register]]. However, most [[coloratura sopranos]] do utilize the whistle register, particularly when singing staccato notes in rapid succession, during high trills, or other elaborate [[coloratura]] ornamentation in the upper [[tessitura]]. Rarely will coloraturas use whistle tone when doing high extended notes. However, singers like [[Mado Robin]] were noted for doing so.{{citation needed|date=January 2020}}
