{Overview (written by Henny Macc )}
I've been notewatching the characters from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia lately, and turns out almost all of the main gang have around three octave ranges. I'll be making threads for Charlie Day and Rob McElhenney too while I'm at it, but Glenn is easily the best singer of the five of them. Really nice tone and great belting technique in the fourth octave, as well as some pretty impressive falsetto highs with killer vibrato. I'll update the thread with more notes as I find them, and if anyone knows of anything missing, be sure to let me know. I'm actually not 100% sure that some of the lows are him, actually, since they're sung in harmonies and it's a bit hard to tell the different voices apart, but they're definitely either Glenn or Rob.

Special thanks to Henny Macc for creating the original thread/sending it my way

Some F♯2s here. In retrospect his lows could definitely be extended up to E3

Here’s a distorted B-flat 5.

My god that A5 is so good. He sustained it very well.

Whoa great find, that sounded awesome! I'm actually hearing it get as high as B5 too  :shock:

[Macca]

I'm hearing the F♯5 and A5 as a G5 and B♭5

[Kreuger]

I checked the F#5 with my phone and it seems to wobble between that and G.

Edit: Ya the A5 goes back and forth between that and Bb5.

[Henny Macc]

I reckon that B5 should definitely be colored as a green note. Great technique for it though, was really not expecting a scream like that from someone that otherwise doesn't seem to have any kind of background with that type of style

[senatorsenpai]

Quite an impressive range for someone who isn't a singer by trade. I do think the falsetto in "Dayman" should be bolded for prosperity!

His vibrato can be quite wide, but I'm not sure if it's so wide that both of those top notes need to listed as a full semitone higher.
