How Tamia uses that range
Tamia balances a bright, forward mix with genuine head-voice bloom, moving between them without a visible seam. Her intonation is unusually exact on sustained high lines, vibrato arrives late and even, and runs are shaped in clean descending curls. She supports long crescendos from the ribs, letting a note grow without spreading. Students copying her usually attack the top notes; she approaches them on closed vowels, narrows first, then opens once the pitch is seated.

Pristine, bright mix that blooms into clear head voice, with exacting intonation on long, high sustains.
