ADAM LAMBERT-Vocal Profile


Vocal Type: Tenor
Vocal Range: 4 Octaves
Highest Note: B5
Highest Belt: B5
Lowest Note: B2
Voice Analysis-Technical Aspects
Range:
Wide vocal range and belting range. A well-connected voice that eases through vocal breaks through expert and even mixing of registers. 

Tone:
Adam's chest voice is light and lacks resonance, especially the lower notes. However as it ascends into the belting range, the voice gains confidence and power. His belting range is strong, though light and his upper belts (B4 onwards) are achieved through mixing registers. His upper belts are nasal. His head voice is bright, like the rest of his voice. Overall, his tone is average.

Belt Quality/Power:
Adam's belts are well-supported, well-placed, bright, strong and powerful and elastic. His upper belts are achieved with great technique and maintain startling resonance, even though they sound like he is screaming at times. Overall, his belting range is where his voice truly shines and is truly remarkable. His stamina live, even when belting is impressive as he energetically belts each note loudly and powerfully for the whole tour without his voice wearing out, suggesting the usage of brilliant and healthy technique.

Melisma:
As seen from his American Idol performances, Adam is capable of complicated and fast melisma, of which he executes quickly and flexibly with little effort. However, he does not tend to use this skill often in his recent material. 

Pitch:
His pitch live is impressive as he rarely goes sharp or flat, even in his upper belts, which are always concisely on pitch.

In a Nutshell...
Positives
Expert mixing, powerful belts, incredible stamina, good melisma and decent tone make Adam Lambert a technically great singer. He is no doubt a male vocal powerhouse as evident by his expert control over his voice. 

Negatives:
Adam Lambert's lower notes lack resonance and sound unsupported. His upper belts are very nasal and sound like screaming.
