How Billy Corgan uses that range
Placement is high, forward and frankly nasal, with a reedy whine that cuts through loud guitars by frequency rather than volume. Tone stays straight, vibrato barely appears, and breaks in the line are left in rather than smoothed over. Rounding the sound to make it prettier removes the one quality that lets it be heard, and pushing air at the C5 belt turns that edge into strain.
