{Vocal Summary}
With a middle-placed, baritonal tessitura, Corby has an agile yet powerful voice, that he attributes to his formative years training in Opera and Musical Theatre, as well as playing in bands throughout his teens. Corby has a great range of tonal colours and dynamics to his voice he manipulates at will, often building from a delicate raspy chest voice to a D'Angelo-esque mix, before climaxing a song with gritty belts in the high fourth octave in songs such as in "No Ordinary life" and "Untitled". While not one to over-sing, Corby has demonstrated he has the capability to perform some pretty ridiculous, yet tasteful riffs and runs, best exemplified in his cover of "A Change Is Gonna Come", and "Lay You Down/Song For".
