I was amazed at Vent Haven at the some of the headliners who could not talk or sing in a falsetto voice. Then Terry Fader came on stage and completely upset the old vent power structure at Fort Mitchell. I say it again..as a vent you have to see Terry live..just to understand HE is really doing all that sound.
Now onto E.Z. falsetto songs. The first is a real, simple one by Marmalade,

All my sorrows, sad tomorrows
Take me back, to my old home
All my cryings, (all my cryings),feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back to my old home (I'm going home)

All my sorrows, sad tomorrows
Take me back, (take me back) to my old home.....

I'd also suggest some tunes by the Bee Gees; Four Seasons;the Beach Boys and a lot of Motown especially Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. Remember you also need a falsetto to do quality yodelling.

I lost my falsetto weeks back, and until now I'm still having a hard time detting it back.

For my Mack figure Nonoy, my main character, I use my falsetto. But since I lost it, I gave him a "new" voice--kinda pressured voice made at the front part of the mouth (the way Edgar Bergen did Charlie's voice). It sounded nice on Nonoy so I might retain that voice for him.

Meanwhile, what do you do to bring back your "lost" falsetto?

I will try to visit my voice doctor next week.

F-A-T-O-R

Thanks, I wanted to make sure this time I didn't call him Tony.

Ron Is someone having a little suitcase sulk?
Bern Okay ,now I'm out and I am not having a sulk. Weren't you a teacher..how come you can't spell FATOR? Were you worried that saying fat ore would result in another momentous, Montana miner attack?
Ron Would you stop, John is a successful, bearded actor. Let's change the subject. I believe you now challenge the concept of time?
Bern I do. I challenge that some of the things in history did not happen when historians say they did.
Ron That's preposterous. I'm an historian. Let me see when did the First Council of Nicaea happen?
Bern Well the history books say AD 325 but I say AD 876.
Ron What, are you sane? The spread of Islam was well underway in the 800's. What proof do you have?
Bern I'm still working on that, but I'm getting bored. I think I'm going to launch myself on a new quest.
Ron I thought you were going to try and find out where Reverend Rev Line lost his falsetto?"
Bern Oh yeah, back to the grip. I'll crack this case. Imagine some dude called Ony Carcamo has a truck-shaped vent figure with the exciting name of Yawn On.
Ron I wish Tony was not away and could help! To be continued.

I envy the vents who can co a real falsetto... unfortunately, I was the recipient of an iron pipe across the throat while a policeman an can't do a falsetto no matter how hard I try. I end up speaking softly and low -- its the best I can do...but it seems to work for my audiences.

John, I'm sorry I wouldn't have been blabbering on about falsetto if I knew you had injuries. Mea culpa. Ron

I can't do a falsetto, no big deal. I'm more sensitive about my weight than I am about my throat or knees (another ugly story)... carry on carrying on!

Actually, I've started using a tiny little whizzer whistle for my falsetto figures, or a squeaker... has just as much humor/appeal for the kids.

The annual Vent Haven convention is led by Mark Ward and a squad of good, professional belly talkers. One of them is Tom Ladshaw who is also a superb show MC. This year Tom also staffed a booth in one of the two sales rooms. He had a few plastic jars of one and two way squeakers for sale. He gave me a few as by then (last day of show) I had few Yankee dollars. He also warned it's a joke among his vent friends of how many squeakers they've swallowed over the years. Tony..go to bed..don't even start ecological jokes!
About a 10 minute drive from the Drawbridge Inn, which is out on the highway, is a vent funeral home in a nice residential neighborhood. The museum contains the vent figures of history from most countries of the world. And Tom is the one who demonstrates Mortimer Snerd or Charlie McCarthy or..take your pick. Funny..even with my mick blood and exposure to wakes since the age of one I compare the museum to papayas..did it.. no real buzz...more fun driving through northern Kentucky.
By the way, John did 22 years as the news middleman between John Q and the working constables. Still know my ten code except I now mix up the 10-40's! My point is..remember the squeakers if you suddenly start wheezing(not weight result) or experience bomb whistles during what the R.A.F.calls rapid decompression.(rhymes with hoots)

When not in use, I tuck the squeaker behind my lower lip, like a cud of snoose (aka snuff or spit tobacco) haven't had a problem yet...knock on wood
