About: Voce faringea

In vocal music, the term voce faringea (Italian pronunciation: [ˈvoːtʃe farinˈdʒɛːa]; translating to pharyngeal voice) describes a historical singing practice developed and used especially by the bel canto tenors of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century to extend the upper range of the voice by modifying the falsetto, which is typically heard as a weak or feminine sound, into a vocal quality that is more tenoral and powerful.
