Evidence and review
Individual evidence review is pending. The displayed range is a reported reference span, not an independently verified physiological limit.
These are the approximate figures fans and music journalists commonly cite — the widest notes a singer has recorded, not the comfortable range they sing in every night, and not lab measurements. Treat them as a fun reference, not a target.
How Patti LuPone uses that range
Everything begins with the consonant. Hard t's, d's and s's set the rhythm before the vowel arrives, and the tone underneath is dark, thick, low-placed chest carried all the way to the D5 belt. Vibrato is wide and slow, more a shudder than a shimmer. Phrases stretch and compress against the accompaniment instead of sitting square on it. The common error is mistaking that weight for volume and simply shouting; the size comes from a low, settled larynx and a very full breath.
