How Ann Wilson uses that range
Chest weight rides up past the top of the staff, with a hard, precise onset and a bright ring that cuts over loud guitars. The vibrato is even and moderately fast, starting almost the instant the note does. Above the A5 belt the tone thins into a clean upper register instead of a shout. Copy the volume without building the breath support underneath it and the sound turns throaty by the second chorus.
