Man imitates a girl's voice.

Is this for real or is he miming? I think it's real.

    The film 'Joy Ride' would have worked a lot better with this guy winding up Rusty Nail instead of Paul Walker

    Why the surprise? Most male pop singers sing with high pitched girls' voices.

    Let us start with the Bee Gees

    It's very easy to perform falsetto.

    The Bee Gees sing in high pitched men's voices. That's falsetto. You can usually tell pretty easily when a man is singing at whatever pitch. This guy is doing a pretty convincing imitation of a female voice (or a convincing mime to someone else's voice).

    You obviously haven't heard a proper sopranista sing, then.

    Listen to Okamoto Tomotaka (a big Japanese bloke) singing "Nessun Dorma" http://youtu.be/5R8LqdX4KlY?t=43s and prepare to be amazed...

    I don't think that's usual. I was referring to the majority of pop singers.

    *Listens to video* ... he sounds a bit like Beaker from the Muppets to me...

    Granted, he is an unusual example, but it can happen. Here's another:

    Philippe Jaroussky. There's a famous German one too, not famous enough to remember his name though! Sopranistas they are called.

    I think he is miming. The lips don't quite sync imo

    That's not falsetto, he's positioning his Adams apple and using his mouth/head instead of his chest to resonate his voice. Transgendered women have to learn how to do it in order to sound female: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PQ3R5zJ1GQ

    It does look freaky when a bearded bloke does it though :o

    Having watched and listened to what was said on the above clip, i'd have no doubt at all in saying the guy on the OP's clip was miming to a female voice.

    100% certain.

    Well you're wrong :kitty:, imo not even convincing as a female voice.

    I don't think he was miming.

    His lips appeared to be out of sync when he spoke in his normal voice.
