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 Bernadette Peters uses that range
Breath is left in the tone deliberately: you can hear air travelling alongside the pitch, and the vibrato flutters fast and shallow rather than swinging wide. Volume stays small, so the C5 belt reads as an emotional break instead of a display. Above it she thins into a narrow, childlike head tone rather than filling it out. Phrasing sits well behind the beat, with real silence inside a line. The trap is copying the breathiness without support, which lets pitch sag.
