Michael Maniaci (born May 3, 1976) is an American opera singer. Possessing a male soprano voice, Maniaci is noted for his claim to be able to sing into the upper soprano range without resorting to falsetto, an otherwise common phonation for men who sing in high registers, such as countertenors. Although this was possible for castrati because of the hormonal imbalance following castration, Maniaci claims that, for some unknown reason, his larynx did not develop and lengthen completely during puberty, causing his voice not to "break" in the usual manner. Maniaci claims that this physical particularity has given him the ability to sing in the soprano register without sounding like a typical countertenor or a female singer.

  • Michael Maniaci (Cincinnati, 3 maggio 1976) è un cantante operistico statunitense; possedendo una voce da soprano maschile, Maniaci è noto per la sua pretesa di essere in grado di cantare nella gamma superiore di soprano, senza ricorrere al falsetto, una fonazione altrimenti comune per gli uomini che cantano nei registri alti, come i contraltisti.

  • Michael Maniaci (3 de maig de 1976) és un sopranista estatunidenc cèlebre per la seva inusual habilitat de cantar en el registre d'una soprano sense usar falset. La majoria dels homes que tenen aquesta habilitat l'han obtingut com a resultat d'un disfunció hormonal, però per raons encara desconegudes la laringe de Maniaci no es va desenvolupar fent que la seva veu no canviés de forma habitual. Aquesta anomalia fisiològica li ha donat a Maniaci l'habilitat de cantar en el registre de soprano sense sonar com un típic contratenor o una dona. Per aquesta raó, molts pedagogs professionals en l'educació vocal consideren la veu de Maniaci com una cosa única entre els contratenors, i la comparen amb les veus dels castrats del passat. (ca)
