William Shatner (22 March 1931 - Present)
Voice Type: Rocket Man...Burning Out His Bar Out Here itone
Vocal Range: F♯1 - F♯5
{Vocal Summary}This is William Shatner so don't expect me to try here. The man loves talk-singing, and even that is a loose term for Willy boy. He has like five whole notes that I'd consider remotely sung. He's handed song lyrics on a silver platter and just narrates every single line. He has first octave notes, largely because he speaks first octave notes. Whoopee. I'm tired of this shit.
