Vocal Type: Tenor On Fire
Vocal Range: A2 - E5
{Vocal Description/Bio}Caleb Followill is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the alternative/southern rock band known as Kings of Leon, formed in 1999 with his brothers and their cousin. While he doesn't possess the most technically sound kind of voice, he still has a distinct style that is instantaneously recognizable and compelling enough to listen to. His style had changed drastically from a more southern rock kind of drawling singing voice to a cleaner sound appropriate for their new found alternative/arena rock sound. His lower register often goes unused, rarely ever singing below E3, preferring to sing in his more comfortable upper register; however, he remains relatively controlled on all notes, even as low as A2. However, what most people will hear from him is his upper register, which, albeit being a bit uncontrolled on pitches above F♯4, still maintains a lot of power all the way up to A4, even through his often strained tone. His falsetto register is by far his least used vocal register, but it seems to be well-controlled at notes as high as E5, and possibly much higher. He has demonstrated use of the whistle register through shrieks that he has only done twice in his career so far, but these notes remain unlisted in the main thread due to them being misrepresentative to his voice.
