How Luis Fonsi uses that range
Fonsi keeps the voice forward and smiling, with a clean, quick onset and a polished, even vibrato reserved for sustained peaks. Ballads sit squarely between E3 and A4, where he leans on crescendo-release shapes: start straight, swell, spin the vibrato, taper. Consonants stay crisp for rhythmic tracks and he never lets the tone splay. What students miss when copying him is the taper; ending big notes at full pressure reads as strain where his phrase endings float.
