This is the approved revision of this page, as well as being the most recent.

A perceived mixture between chest (modal) registration and falsetto/head voice (loft) registration, mechanistically and/or acoustically. It is useful for register transition ifsudden voice quality (timbre) changes are not desirable. It is not a separate laryngeal register, rather a laryngeal function influenced by nonlinear acoustic feedback factors which square the vocal fold contact behavior. Acoustically, a version of close timbre (voce chiusa). Also known as balanced, blended, or coordinated registration.[1]
