C4 to B4 (Very strong with a forceful declamation)

B4 to E5 (Weak/Cracky)

1. Sounds strong and harsh with the ability to go light and lyrical on the 3rd octave.

2. Prefers to sing on the 3rd octave and go higher or lower if necessary.

3. Able to mix voices and increase or lower the octave range in one song

4. Uses more than one octave in a song, by mixing his chest and middle voice.

5. Able to part himself or his songs due to the ability to use a large part of the 2nd octave, the 3rd and the 4th octave.

6. Can sometimes sound like a tenor, but relies on a light baritone and can thin out his voice to sound falsetto.

7. Able to add shallow riffs and runs.

8. Can hit early notes on the 5th octave soft or with forceful belch.

Vocal Weakness (Negatives)

1. Prefers to sing on the 3rd octave mostly climaxing to his 4th only that, his few 5th octave notes are vocally unstable and not reliable.

2. Vocally predictable with his vocal starting point usually 3rd octave.

3. Unable to belch very high notes above E5.... Www.marshupafrica.com
