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 Colm Wilkinson uses that range
Reediness comes from a narrow, slightly nasal resonance rather than a wide open throat, and it gives the upper range a thin pleading edge instead of a heroic ring. Vibrato is prominent and fairly wide, present from the instant the note starts. Long high phrases are sung quietly and held, thinning toward the end of the breath instead of being reinforced. Copying the vibrato without the reedy placement produces a wobble; that narrowness is what keeps it in focus.
