How Keith Urban uses that range
Urban is a low-set tenor who sings close to speech, with a husky edge and pop-style phrasing that lands just behind the guitar groove. His belt carries into the mid-fourth octave on pure twang, and above that he flips to a breathy falsetto for color. Onsets are soft, endings often fall away. The mistake students make is muscling his high lines; he narrows the vowel and keeps the volume moderate.
