    To some, the world's greatest yodeler.

  2. "The vocal folds can vibrate in four different mechanisms.

    M0: ‘creak’ or ‘vocal fry’

    M1: women: ‘chest’ register; men: normal voice

    M2: women: ‘head’ register; men: ‘falsetto’ register

    M3: ‘whistle’ or ‘flageolet’ register

    There is usually a pitch and intensity range over which singers can use either M1 or M2, and trained singers are good at disguising the transition. Sometimes, as in yodeling, the transition is a feature."
