How Chris Tomlin uses that range
Airy and unforced, with modest chest weight and a slightly breathy edge on the low notes. Keys are chosen to park the voice in upper mix around B4, which is why the melodies feel high but rarely strained. Rhythm stays square, sung close to the beat so a room can follow it on first hearing. Adding power is the mistake; the thinness is exactly what makes these lines singable by a crowd.
