How Reba McEntire uses that range
Twang does the work up front: a bright, narrow, forward vowel that keeps the belt from sounding heavy. Chest-weighted mix carries confidently to about D5, and above that toward F5 the sound releases into a thinner cry rather than more push. Consonants are crisp, and line endings often break upward into that cry on purpose. Shouted from the throat, the belt spreads and tires fast; the narrow vowel is what makes it carry.

Reading the numbers
- Full voice is cited to within 3 semitones of the top note, so this reads as a chest-dominant voice rather than one that flips into a lighter register.
- 2 other voices here carry the identical cited range — at the resolution these figures are quoted in, those voices are indistinguishable on the chart.
- Ranked by bottom note, it is the 501st lowest voice in this library; by top note, the 370th highest.
Commonly cited figures, not lab measurements — extreme notes are one-off recorded moments, not the singer’s everyday range.
