How Sarah McLachlan uses that range
Long, even sustains define this, held on steady air with the tone clear and slightly airy in the upper range. The register transition is smoothed rather than featured, so a line can climb without any audible gear change. Vibrato arrives late and stays narrow, and ornaments are almost absent; shape comes from crescendo and vowel color instead. These melodies are built to be carried straight through, and runs laid on top of them only add clutter.
