[Dark Star]

Best Use of Chest Voice: David Coverdale - Slave (to 2:00)

Coverdale spans over three octaves in this cut from his obscure 1999 solo album In the Light, ranging from a dark sung spoken C2 to throaty mid-range singing to girth-y, chesty C#5s on the chorus.


Best Usage of Head Voice: Scot Weiland - Glide (to 2:34)

While not exclusively head voice, Weiland 'glides' in between chesty lower to mid-range singing to his ethereal head voice to give the song a floaty, dreamlike feel.

{Best Use of Chest Voice: Ivan Rebroff}This clip's got a bit of everything from Rebroff- faster pace, slower pace, mid-range, highs and lows- including a climax at a really weightily belted G4, before dropping down to a huge E2. Clip spans 1:38-2:58.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Best Use of Head Voice: Tarja Turunen}The ending of Nightwish's fun take on 'The Phantom of the Opera' sees Tarja start out a little lower down in her signature head voice- even being able to make it down to the lower fourth octave without any jarring breaks- before she launches fully into wailing highs, all the way up to a sustained Eb6 at the end! Clip spans 2:58-4:12.
