In an untrained voice, one usually finds only two voices, chest and head, and there\'s a \"break\" between the two voices. Many folk forms of singing, like yodeling, use this break as a musical device.

It seems that there are two different meanings of \"срывающийся голос\":
(i) very strained voice, on the verge of losing one\'s voice,
(ii) unsteady voice (not necessarily loud).
непоставленный -- untrained

? straining, unpractised
срывающимся - the main idea I get from this is that he's straining his voice to its limits, and sometimes his voice is failing him.
непоставленным - it's not the "settled" voice of someone used to public speaking. This could be called an unpractised/unpracticed voice.
So perhaps "straining his unpractised voice to its limits" or something on those lines.
