Whitney Houston - Vocal Profile/ Range

whitney houston vocal range photo
Vocal Type: Mezzo Soprano

Vocal Range: 3.3 Octaves. A2- C6 (approx)

Longest Note: 9 seconds - 'I will always love you'

Vocal Pluses: At her best she is able to belt powerful notes to excellent emotional effect. She also uses her pleasant sounding falsetto sparingly to lift and accent potentially boring melodies. Idiosyncratic vocal 'ad-libbing' makes her voice easily recognisable.

Vocal Negatives: Utilises a relatively fixed vocal range in most of her music. Her voice can become shrill in the upper range, especially when she attempts to belt these notes. Not always comfortable singing vocal runs.
