How Fantasia uses that range
Fantasia drives breath hard through a husky, gospel-schooled instrument, turning the rasp into an expressive dial she opens and closes at will. Onsets are often glottal and percussive, phrases bend behind the beat, and she shouts-then-croons within a single line. Runs come from church tradition: pentatonic, weighted, finished with a growl. Students copying her force the rasp from the folds; hers rides on strong support and a dropped jaw, and she releases it before strain sets in.
