What is another word for counter-tenors?
Pronunciation: [kˈa͡ʊntətˈɛnəz] (IPA) 
Counter-tenors, also known as male altos or sopranists, are a unique type of singer with a high vocal range. Synonyms for this type of singer include male sopranos, adult falsettists, and castrati. The term "male soprano" refers to men with a high-pitched voice and is often used interchangeably with counter-tenors. Adult falsettists, on the other hand, use their falsetto voice, which is produced by vibration of the vocal cords, to sing high notes with a powerful and resonant sound. Castrati were male singers who were castrated before puberty to maintain their high vocal range. While the castrati no longer exist, their legacy lives on in modern-day counter-tenors.
