How Josh Kiszka uses that range
Wail placement rules: a compact tenor squeezed into an intensely bright, nasal channel, with heavy twang and a high tongue creating the siren-like cut. He sustains full-voice cries high above the staff, tips into falsetto for peaks near C#6, and decorates with fast blues curls and yelped octave leaps. Vibrato is quick and shallow; onsets often slide upward into the note. Volume is loud but the mechanism is small. Students imitate the sound by screaming wide-mouthed and blow out; the cry comes from narrowing, not force, with the soft palate high and air metered.
