Evidence and review
Individual evidence review is pending. The displayed range is a reported reference span, not an independently verified physiological limit.
These are the approximate figures fans and music journalists commonly cite — the widest notes a singer has recorded, not the comfortable range they sing in every night, and not lab measurements. Treat them as a fun reference, not a target.
How Alison Krauss uses that range
Very little happens on purpose here, which is what makes it hard. Tone stays straight with only a trace of vibrato late in a long note, dynamics stay quiet, and pitch is placed dead center with no scoop in. Onsets are soft, almost breath-first. Ornament is nearly absent, so every vowel is exposed. Sing this with normal vibrato habits and you find out how much of your tuning the vibrato was hiding.
