How Niall Horan uses that range
Soft-grained and breath-led, this tenor works close to the microphone, letting air haze the edges of an otherwise centred tone. Niall writes inside his sweet spot, so phrases sit mid-range with occasional falsetto lifts, and his vibrato is light, arriving only on final sustains. Diction is relaxed, almost conversational. The mistake students make is adding polish; over-supporting kills the papery intimacy, which depends on low subglottal pressure and a barely-there onset.
