Few singers define the emotion of joy through their voice as thoroughly as Elize Ryd. The expressive and playful nature of her singing makes it clear that music is a natural extension of her inner being, so much so that it's hard to find clips of her where she doesn't burst into song at some point! She has a nimble, pop-based vocal approach that contrasts with her co-singers in Amaranthe and indeed the rest of the modern metal scene in general, something that is apparent in her usage of vocal runs but also in the sheer resonance of her signature belting sound. With that being said, her 6th octave head voice approach is well developed and when the situation calls for it she can hold her own with the best of the operatic singers in the scene. Given her soprano placement and influences, it should be no surprise that her lower register isn't particularly extensive, but as a naturally dynamic voice she finds more than enough contrast in the 3rd octave to suit her music effectively.
