** DISCLAIMER: This is not a critique, it is a lesson on how you can use vocal technique to create similar sounds in your own voice. Obviously you will not sound exactly like Morissette because we are all individuals. The goal of this video is to educate and I categorically disagree with criticising someone else's performance or voice. I am all about good, healthy long lasting vocal technique. **

Glossary:
Thick Vocal Folds = When you are in your chest register (so lower than an A above middle C ish) the true vocal folds are thick and therefore we call this thick vocal folds.

Thin Vocal Folds = This is sometimes called head voice, when you go up over the voice break we need to do something to get higher (much like the splits) so the TVF's thin out. You can of course sing high and not go to thin fold......

That would mean you are in Mix voice : That is when you have some thinning in the upper range in comparison to the lower chestier notes, but you aren't quite as thick as belting.

Falsetto: This is a technique where the arytenoids rock back and the TVF's go stiff. This is a perfectly good vocal technique, we call it falsetto to distinguish between high notes that are in thin fold and high notes that are slightly breathy. This does not mean that the singer can't sing them, but it makes a softer sound than thin folds.

Vocal folds = Vocal cords. They aren't cords at all but folds of tissue and ligament so we stay clear of you thinking they are like two ropes in your larynx.

Larynx: the place in the throat where the TVF's live.
