How Sohyang uses that range
A belt sitting as high as C6 only holds because the breath under it is doing the work: larynx steady, vowel open, vibrato even and classical in width, no thinning into a scream. Above that, the whistle register works as a usable part of the instrument rather than a stunt, entered cleanly, held in tune, phrased like melody. The order matters. Whistle is the part people try to copy first, and the part that depends most on everything underneath it.
What is Sohyang’s vocal range?

Reading the numbers
- The top note beats 90% of the 52 sopranos in this library, and sits in whistle register.
- Only 5 singers here reach above C7.
- 12 semitones — 27% of the whole span — sit above the cited full-voice ceiling, so much of this range is head voice, falsetto or whistle rather than chest.
- The ceiling clears the conventional soprano top of C6 by 12 semitones.
- The span runs 12 semitones past the median voice in this library (32 semitones).
