Reading the numbers

  • Full voice is cited to within 4 semitones of the top note, so this reads as a chest-dominant voice rather than one that flips into a lighter register.
  • 4 other voices here carry the identical cited range — at the resolution these figures are quoted in, those voices are indistinguishable on the chart.
  • One of only 9 Reggae voices in this library.
  • One of 8 singers from Jamaica charted here.
  • Ranked by bottom note, it is the 111th lowest of the 357 voices here; by top note, the 249th highest.

Commonly cited figures, not lab measurements — extreme notes are one-off recorded moments, not the singer’s everyday range.
