This is where the Eagles got it from

9. One of the first things I got yelled at in chorus was for singing soprano

with like a quasi falsetto. There was no in-between for me at that time not because of age but because I hadn't found "my own voice" and so I was able to force myself to sing bass or soprano but an alto I couldn't hold. Strange but my 2nd wife could sing like an angel and she kept after me to sing in my own voice rather than "sounding like". It's hard to get that confidence for sure but once you just let go you can then move toward hitting notes but until then just sing in your natural voice seems to work best for most people. Funny but I can still sing falsetto all these years later.
