{Vocal Summary}
Edu Falaschi has established himself as one of the most important singers in Brazil. In his youth it can be seen a great influence in him from singers like Ronnie James Dio and Bruce Dickinson, largely using distortion and high notes similar to those of their influences around C5-E5. Little by little he preferred to use his voice for a more melodic sound, something that has been very successful for him. His highest point in his career is his entry to Angra in which he had to replace a great singer with a great career as Andre Matos, but that did not weigh on him in the beginning since he managed to interpret the songs of his predecessor in a good way. Around 2003 he began to notice a damaged voice caused by acid reflux in which his vocal quality would gradually diminish until he reached the poor performance of Rock in Rio in 2011. Despite this, Edu has managed to recover and return to the stages with more force than ever.

Fun Fact: Falaschi  consider himself a baritone, but he is clearly a tenor with good range on low notes.

Hey nice job on the research so far! I didn't think the C2 in "Forbidden" was Edu originally, but listening back to it I can actually hear it having the same tone as the lows in "Torn", so maybe it is him after all.

Out of curiosity, can you link me to the live improvisation D2 listed in the spoiler?

[kardia007]

i hear a "B1" in the music "Treasure of the Gods" in Almah band but is fry vocal... do you count vocal fry or falsetto?

Yes, I have heard that B1, but it is an awful note. Vocal  fry only in certain cases I count it

[Hennessy Macklemore III]

I reckon that note could be worth counting in the spoiler as a grey note, but yeah if you think it's too gurgly to be worth counting in the main section that's cool

That's not Edu, it's Bruno Sutter.  :(

[Macca]

I have no clue what has happened to the discography section

[mangellain]

It sounds pretty good.

[Hennessy Macklemore III]

Nice powerful sustained E5 there!

[mangellain]

A B4? Really cool
A E5 in 5:56 and 3:15 (The E5 of 3:15 I like it more than the other)

[Hennessy Macklemore III]

A4 at 5:34 and E♭5s at 3:15 and 5:56. Agreed that the one at 3:15 is better.
