Evidence and review
Individual evidence review is pending. The displayed range is a reported reference span, not an independently verified physiological limit.
These are the approximate figures fans and music journalists commonly cite — the widest notes a singer has recorded, not the comfortable range they sing in every night, and not lab measurements. Treat them as a fun reference, not a target.
How Tammy Wynette uses that range
The register break is not hidden, it is used. Phrases build in chest, then at the end of a line the voice deliberately cracks up into a lighter register for a beat, the teardrop catch. Otherwise the tone is warm and even, with moderate vibrato and slow, weighted slides. Get this wrong and you crack randomly mid-word; the catch has to be placed, in the same spot in the phrase every time.
