How Paul Rodgers uses that range
Restraint is the discipline: a warm, grainy chest voice used mostly in the middle octave, with space left around every phrase. He blends chest and head into one seamless mix, saving the top for single climactic moments. Onsets slide from just under pitch, blues-fashion; vibrato is slow and even. Rasp arrives only under pressure, never as decoration. Students copy the grit and skip the economy; his authority comes from what he declines to sing.
